Only 5 more weeks ....

I just have the hardest time believing there are only 5 more weeks left before I start back at work.  I love teaching and I love, love, love the beginning of the school year.  It's the best feeling to be back in the building with the friends you love teaching with but haven't seen all summer.  I love putting my room together and I love getting ideas and putting them to life for my kiddos.  However, I can't express how much I will miss my own three babies.  It has been a lazy summer filled with swimming and friends and cookouts and lemonade stands.  We've been to the beach and the pool and the library and camps. I am going to miss them terribly and with the start of school comes athletics and sports and we are on the go again.  Why can't I have the best of both worlds???  Maybe I do?

Welcome to First Grade Fun!

Welcome to First Grade Fun! 

This is my 14th year teaching and my 8th year of first grade!  This is, by far, my favorite grade and I am always looking forward to the start of school!  This year is no exception!  While I may have some experience in teaching, I have absolutely no experience in blogging!  I hope this will be as reflective and fun for you as for me.
