Once again a day late and a picture short but I did get it up! I love looking into everyone elses worlds!<br />
I currently have 24 students on my roster for the year. I had 25 last time I was in K. Hoping to have less than 9 behavior students this year though!<br />
So since I have kindergarten screening this week my goal was to have my classroom all done and I almost completely succeeded. I have a few small things to do but it is a huge relief to see the end of the tunnel. I stuck with the Seuss theme again this year and I am so glad that I did! So without further ado here are the pictures of my classroom. I will post update once I get the last bookcase in at the end of the week.<br />

Very excited! So let talk about me! I will do this in list form. (Because I love lists!)<br />
<div>
<a href="http://imbloghoppin.blogspot.com/2013/08/teacher-week-13-lets-talk-about-me.html" target="_blank"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJhSMuqS4hmkjhc8TEyToHHsABMHncKPV8CGFU8AHDdVewCqW1QrbV9Yi_bVD36oPitDldo6DGZqVXZlk_xrulEUXKNgACwc5zlMwuUtbjLv9LKPFNPGb4Y1C9QaI7swONmwc1FBB2jk4/s400/teacherweek2.png" /></a></div>
<div>
1) I am about to start my third year teaching. My first year was spent in kinder, second year in first and I am VERY excited to be going back to k this year! I have been told that now that my principal has me in k I am stuck for good (just fine by me). </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
2) I have wanted to be a teacher since the first day of first grade. I had a fabulous teacher and wanted to be just like her. I have never changed my mind about this either. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
3) going with # 2 unlike most young teachers who have been gathering stuff for their classrooms for a couple of years I have been gathering things since I was 6. Lol</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
4) I am 24 years old. I still get carded ALL the time. Ugh! I know eventually it will be nice to get carded but now it's just annoying. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
5) I live at the beach. My house that I have been living in has an ocean view. I'm moving at the end of the month though-no more ocean view but it's only 3 blocks away. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
6) I have a 3 year old lab retriever mix named Napili. I love her even though she is a little nuts. Her name comes from my favorite bay on Maui. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
7) I play tennis twice a week (most weeks). We are lucky to have 2 indoor courts in the area with a pro. I'm usually the youngest one there by about 20 years. We have a blast though!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
8) When I was a baby I ate sand. By the handful! And I was not a small baby (9lb 13 oz when I was born) so those were not small hands.<br />
<br />
9) I hate drinking milk. On cereal I can stand it in small amounts but just drinking a glass of milk? That is GROSS!)\<br />
<br />
10) I hate it when people touch my feet! I had the second pedicure of my life this summer because I was going to wear sandals to a wedding. It tickles and I just think it is gross to have people touching my feet (especially summer feet, I do live at the beach).<br />
<br />
So there you have it. It's a day late but I finished. I think I will try for the whole week but with screening today and tomorrow I may have to do a double day. But I will say my classroom is basically done minus one bookshelf that will be added this week!<br />
(oh and I will try to add pictures to this later. They my phone was having trouble uploading my post)<br />

YIKES! I have kindergarten screening in 8 days. My room is nowhere near ready. I have books EVERYWHERE!<br />
Here is my currently. <br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<br />
Listening: Shark week started today. I am enjoying it today while I am somewhere with a tv, unlike my own house currently.<br />
<br />
Loving: Who doesn't love spending the day in their pajamas.<br />
<br />
Thinking: I keep telling myself that I will have my classroom as close to done as possible before the 13th... But I can't have it all the way finished until my grandpa comes to help build a bookshelf.<br />
<br />
Wanting: So I have mentionedd before that I am moving. Well I'm moving into the family's cabin but I have to wait for my mom to move into her new place first and the closing date keeps changing. Makes me nuts!<br />
<br />
Needing: See thinking and wanting. The rest of my summer revolves around those two things. Oh and can't forget that my little sister turns 21 in 21 days! YIKES!<br />
<br />
Must Haves:<br />
1)Comfortable shoes-I prefer Toms. I may need to order another pair.<br />
2) Organized classroom-I need everything in it's place to start the year.<br />
3)Smiling Students- They make my day!<br />

(I may have already said this but I'm so excited that I don't care how many times I tell people!)<br />
The only bad part is that I am waiting on other people which can be frustrating.<br />
Last weekend my roommate moved out. Very sad because she was the best and easiest roommate ever. We decided to make a late evening trip to the beach. It was cold, starting to drizzle and getting dark. A little scary on the walk home hoping we didn't see the neighborhood bear. Here's a picture for you all. I'm the one in Orange.<br />

<br /></div>
<div>
Moving on. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have no TV until I move. So I have been keeping up on the computer which means that I am a day or more behind on everything. It's killing me to not know what happens on The Bachelorette tonight! I must know what the first part of the "most dramatic season finale" will hold! </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have been at school today. (I wasn't allowed last week because they were tearing up the front entrance flooring to fix it.) I got to meet our new special education teacher. She is very very nice. A bit overwhelmed but that's to be expected. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I have SOOOOOO much more to do! I'm a bit stressed because I have kindergarten screening on the 13 & 14. Oh and that's the same days that I will hopefully be moving. It will be nice to get all settled at school and home at about the same time though so that I can focus on curriculum stuff. Here are the small things that I completed today. </div>

Hoping to get lots more done tomorrow. Then a training out of town on Wednesday. </div>

Oh and when I left in June my class size was sitting at a lovely 19. The secretary informed me today that we have gotten 3 or 4 more kinders... Wonder how many I will end up with. </div>

But I begin testing students August 13&14 for our kinder assessment program called WAkids. Any other WA kinder teachers out there? Or other kinder teachers who use teaching strategies gold?<div>It gives good data but it is VERY time consuming. I have a refresher training on the 31st. </div><div>Anyway this means that I want to have my classroom ready by the 13th. But I can't go to school this week... They are tearing up the entryway floor tiles and fixing them so they don't trip students (and teachers) anymore because they were all buckling. </div><div><br></div><div>So I have decide that this week is a good time to pack up my house because I think that I will be able to move come the 12th. (Nice timing right?) I am sooooo excited to move though! It means a house to myself and getting to have my dog there. Oh and did I mention that I can walk to school if I want to?! Yep! A big difference from the hour commute I started my teaching career with. </div><div><br></div><div>Here is a new classroom picture from last week.

Sure they are pretty sometimes. But I really don't understand how people can spend so much money on them! I spent my day working in a fireworks stand basically on the WA/OR border.<br />
Fireworks are mostly illegal in OR but not in WA. It is absolutely insane how much people will spend to blow things up for 15 minutes.<br />
<br />
I also live in a house with an ocean view... Well for the last 4 days or so this means I spend my nights listening to people blow things up... It feels like there are people blowing things up on all sides of my house (they basically are). Completely insane.<br />
<br />
I prefer the small town parade mid day tomorrow. It's quiet and cute. And we have an AWESOME shopping cart drill team.<br />

I went to College at <a href="http://www.vancouver.wsu.edu/" target="_blank">Washington State University</a>'s Vancouver campus. GREAT teaching program!

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My first year teaching:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Hmmm where to start. So I Applied for the job as sort of a joke. I knew where I wanted to live(and wasn't going to budge on that) and this job was 55 miles away. I NEVER thought that I would get an interview let alone a job. So I applied. Interviewed. Had lunch with my dad after the interview (the job was literally 1/2 way between where he lives and where I live) then drove home. Pulled up in front of my house and my phone rang it was the principal offering me a job teaching Kindergarten. I went into the interview with NO idea what grade it was for and left the interview with the same question-they were actually hiring 3 of us K, 1st and 2nd. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I of course said YES. Even though I knew that it was going to mean some difficult decisions. In the end I decided I really was NOT going to move. So I commuted 1 hour each way to work. I had THE class, you know that one that NOBODY wants... yeah. But in the end I would have traded any of those kids for anything. I love<strike>d</strike> that quirky bunch! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
My favorite grade to teach: This is a tricky question. Since the first day of 1st grade I have wanted to teach 1st grade. I student taught 1st grade and loved it. Then I taught a year of kinder. Then last year I was back in 1st and I missed kinder! This year I am headed back to Kinder and I absolutely can't wait! I LOVE KINDERGARTEN! Never thought I would say that growing up. I have been assured by my principal that I can stay there a while :) </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
There you have it. Enjoy the sunshine! </div>

On the first!I have decided to blog again. I severely neglected my blog this year and I have come to the conclusion that I need to write to keep myself sane. So I have decided to write at least 1 time per week this summer. That is my goal.<br />
<br />
Here is the promised <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/frame?post=1224039493&group=0&frame_type=a&blog=3524623&link=aHR0cDovL21za2VycmlhbmRoZXJrcmF6eWtpbmRlcmdhcnRlbi5ibG9nc3BvdC5jb20vMjAxMy8wNi9pdHMtY3VycmVudGx5LXRpbWUuaHRtbA&frame=1&click=0&user=0" target="_blank">currently</a>. <br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Listening: Yes I am 24 and yes I watch General Hospital EVERY day. What can I say I am addicted. It started in college and has continued. Sometimes I get a few days behind then have to have a DVR GH marathon, today for example. Anyone else out in teacher blog land that watches?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Loving: I went to the middle of nowhere Eastern WA this weekend to meet my new nephew. He is ADORABLE. I love him and his sweet baby smell and snuggles. I did not however love the H-O-T weather and 8 hour drive each way. They live on a farm... A big farm. Pictures later. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Thinking: Laundry. I hate doing laundry. Actually no I don't hate doing the laundry I hate putting the laundry away. I have far too many clothes and every time I do laundry I remember that when they won't all fit in the drawers and closet... It's a problem I tell you. Maybe that is what I will complete this week-clothes purging. I also have a baby swaddler to make for a friend who is due to have a sweet baby girl any day. So excited to know someone having a GIRL! I have also been working on knitting a blanket for her. So that is something else to finish. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Wanting: Like I said I don't like laundry. Anyone love laundry who wants to come and do mine? J/k... sort of. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Needing: yeah it's 8:00 and I have yet to eat dinner. I just got out of the car... don't know what to eat, mostly because I also need to go grocery shopping...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Tips, Tricks or hints: Don't neglect. This year I not only didn't write but I have also been neglecting my blog stalking this school year. I have missed you all! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

Head on over and link up with Farley!</div>

BlogLovinI made the switch to Bloglovin. And I am loving it! Im going to admit I don't think that I ever really used google reader like you all did... There was just a feed that showed up under where I go to post.<br />
Anyway I will o my best to post on Monday. Tomorrow I am headed to the middle of nowhere WA to meet my new nephew. He is ADORABLE. I can't wait to get baby snuggles. Coming home Sunday evening so depending on how tired I am I will post.<br />
I have been reading a LOT of blogs and you all have inspired me to get off the couch and get something done. Well I might stay on the couch with my computer. But at least I will be doing something.<br />
<br />
Please follow me on Bloglovin! I haven't figured out the whole button thing yet. Hopefully in Monday/Sunday's post.

I had planned to write a couple times a week. But I have been absolutely exhausted or busy nearly every night.<br />
<br />
Since I wrote last:<br />
-I took a trip to Minnesota for Spring Break. I know most (sane) people go to the sun. I went to the snow.<br />
-I found out (not quite officially) that I will teaching first again next year.<br />
-I have not done anywhere near enough baking. I take that back I have done NO baking.<br />
-I have spent far too much time on pinterest.<br />
-I have gotten addicted to too many shows.<br />
-I sound out I am going to be an Aunt again! Another nephew.<br />
-I have what seems like a million friends having babies starting 3 weeks ago. There are MANY due end of this month and in June. (seriously 8 friends!)<br />
-I have missed laughing about all of the insane things that your students do.<br />
-I have decided that I really need to start blogging again because it helped me feel like I wasn't the only teacher getting frustrated with the ridiculous things that my students do.<br />
-I get to go to Outdoor School with our 6th graders next week! Which means I have to write 3 days worth of sub plans! ugh. But it will absolutely be worth it! I can't wait to be back at ODS.<br />
<br />
That is my life in a nut shell.<br />
Oh and I got sunburned this weekend because it was 80+ degrees here on the Southern WA coast!Allycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743984802285442483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622279331014163958.post-76346711170259303532013-05-27T21:08:00.001-07:002013-05-27T21:08:36.612-07:00It has been far too long...againI once again have neglected my blog...<br />
I can't actually remember when the last post was-and I'm too lazy to go and figure out in my history...<br />
<br />
So here goes. I am going back to Kindergarten next year!!!!! I can't wait! I have enjoyed first grade but I have missed Kinder sooooooo much!<br />
<br />
I also got to spend 3 days at Outdoor School with our sixth graders. I had an absolute blast. 6th graders are a different breed but they certainly are hilarious. <br />
<br />
Next on the list I am considering buying a house. It's either that or find a new place to rent... I really hate moving so buying a house is the most logical conclusion right?<br />
Then I only have to move once :)<br />
<br />
Now I am watching the Bachelorette. It is thoroughly entertaining to watch this with my roommate she makes hilarious comments. Such as, "This would be so much better if I was drunk." Some of these guys are completely nuts! We have already made our choices. Juan Pablo doesn't stand a chance...I hope.<br />
<br />
Oh and I am 10 followers away from 100!Allycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743984802285442483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622279331014163958.post-64538467847556501562013-02-28T16:25:00.001-08:002013-02-28T16:25:55.266-08:00Short one todayOnce again I have been neglecting my blog.

Been a good week so far. My reading I block underwent a complete overhaul- and I am very happy with it. Here are a couple pictures of things that happened today. <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixI6SK9jYpvJb2tnYn08t0xebl59-hVUZSxM9elNMiPFKGcReN8RJ4ly3t1hqf-fzTiByI0u8Es0N_bRSKzUyasAKrYJFz8iFUCkg4641RWrFfbMAo3ivCFKqnOBK2UJ27_7r_Voiz6fI/s640/blogger-image--740352628.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEixI6SK9jYpvJb2tnYn08t0xebl59-hVUZSxM9elNMiPFKGcReN8RJ4ly3t1hqf-fzTiByI0u8Es0N_bRSKzUyasAKrYJFz8iFUCkg4641RWrFfbMAo3ivCFKqnOBK2UJ27_7r_Voiz6fI/s640/blogger-image--740352628.jpg" /></a></div> <br/><br/><div class="separator"style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiabJxoW4psHxrX3xctRZnjlzCEDR-t39FrCmKZg_yovBg6OzPb0o0TDjKA8TfRwMLwLHMKpBirDBfv02Tkw2FItssKSyKt8YR5yTS26WvltPWg2sqmePPzjRopvMBmwmC02-NhnHC5ioQ/s640/blogger-image--1723418358.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiabJxoW4psHxrX3xctRZnjlzCEDR-t39FrCmKZg_yovBg6OzPb0o0TDjKA8TfRwMLwLHMKpBirDBfv02Tkw2FItssKSyKt8YR5yTS26WvltPWg2sqmePPzjRopvMBmwmC02-NhnHC5ioQ/s640/blogger-image--1723418358.jpg" /></a></div>Allycehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17743984802285442483noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6622279331014163958.post-16609656268364325042013-01-06T14:24:00.001-08:002013-01-06T14:24:05.778-08:00Trying to keep up with resolutions...So I made a resolution to blog more. Because as 2012 came to a close I just plain stopped. Not just writing on my blog but reading other blogs. And well...I missed everyone! I spent part of my morning today reading up on some of my favorites. I have also been doing my lesson plans for the week.<br />
So I am teaching 1st grade this year. I have been doing spelling tests... I have decided to change it up a bit. So I have a plan in my head. But I have a question for you.<br />
<div style="color: #351c75;">
<b>HOW DO YOU TEACH SPELLING IN YOUR CLASS? </b></div>
I have seen it many ways and I know how I want to try it but I am always looking for ideas. <br />
<br />
We started science this week. Foss kit: Solids and Liquids. I have never taught this one before. The kids are so excited that we get to do science! (felt like a bad teacher that we hadn't done any earlier in the year) So I am also looking for anything that you may do to supplement this unit... there are activities but do you have anything super fun and engaging to help with the learning. I am thinking we will be making ice cream in baggies to (liquid-->solid) and make sundaes on Feb. 13th for Valentines since we get a long weekend and don't have school on the 14th :)<br />
<br />
In math we were doing subtraction that either subtracted a 0 or resulted in 0. I was helping a little one and I told her, "After you understand this you will be so excited." Well she completed about 4 problems, looked up at me and said, "MY MIND IS BLOWN!" I just started laughing. That was one time where I couldn't hold it in. SO funny!<br />
<br />
I really need to go make the worksheets I need for the week...lesson plans are complete though--except for reading groups. Now need to make the materials. TPT here I come :)<br />
<br />
We are starting a Penguin unit. I am so excited! I love teaching about Penguins!<br />
<br />
Have a fabulous week! I think for now I will try to post 1 time a week. Then work my way up to 2 or 3 posts a week. Baby steps!<br />
<br />
Oh and speaking of babies I know 5 people having babies this year! 3 have found out the
gender and all 3 are boys! I love babies and boy things are cute. But
I'm ready to buy some pink :) The other 2 find out in the next couple
weeks...fingers crossed for at least a little pink. <br />
<br />
Have a FABULOUS week!<br />

<br />
So it has been far too long since I posted last. Last I posted I had just started school. Well I still love my job! I definitely have some challenging students but I love them all.<br />
Since Sept. 6th: I made it through Halloween, Thanksgiving and Christmas oh and conferences! <br />
<br />
I thought that with cutting out 2 hours of driving I would have so much more time but instead I have found other things that have been occupying my time.<br />
<br />
I lost my grandma on Sept. 28th. We knew it would happen eventually but we definitely were not prepared for it to happen then. I miss her everyday. Especially on those days when I have a teaching success or have a funny story to share or have a teaching question. She was a teacher as well and always enjoyed the stories and giving me advice.<br />
<br />
This morning as I was folding towels (strange time to start thinking about this) it just hit me how happy and blessed I am to live where I do and have so many wonderful people in my life. I have so many wonderful friends and such an amazing family who are always there to support me. I am one lucky person!<br />
<br />
In 2013 I have a few resolutions:<br />
~Be more organized at school and at home.<br />
~Write down one good thing that happens each day.<br />
~Actually try things that I pin on pinterest. (Already completed 2 things!)<br />
~Blog more. <br />
~Play more tennis. <br />

<br />
I have a great class! I definitely have a few challenges but I have to say it is SO SO much easier than last year! <br />
<br />
Celebrations today:<br />
Little "Blue" used kleenex 5 times!!!! This is HUGE progress. He has been using either his finger or his tongue-Totally disgusting!<br />
<br />
Little "Magenta" was NICE to other students-had some bullying issues the first two days.<br />
<br />
oh and Little Mr. "Green" is loving talking to me. He gets a lot of speech therapy. It took me 2 days to figure out what kind of pet he had. It's a Lizard-but when he says it lizard it sounds like "Little" We celebrated for sure when I figured that one out!<br />
<br />
This is already shaping up to be a great year. Some of the other staff members were talking to my mom (who also works in my building) and were saying that they felt bad because my class was really loaded. Made me feel good because I was thinking I had it pretty easy:)<br />
<br />
Kindergarten last year taught me so much!<br />
<br />
Hope your year is going great too! I promise I will post pictures of what we have been up to soon.<br />
<br />
Happy (almost) Friday!<br />

I sort of can't believe it is already September! But then again I am ready for it. Tomorrow I start school! Can't wait to meet the rest of my little darlings and get the year off to a great start.<br />
<br />
Here is my September currently.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmJaGfbV6spFTvjP66T-VgfsreloYMIy_xTj97bmdiXIhn2X42WtlTZ3_7DKJnfxcTjyNMan4eKbZwtVLbf0XUtDeB6oVFCzC92owiO9iaSbH2BBw8qxTv7oh1pOoXYDYbtuvOMhb6mDg/s1600/Slide1.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgmJaGfbV6spFTvjP66T-VgfsreloYMIy_xTj97bmdiXIhn2X42WtlTZ3_7DKJnfxcTjyNMan4eKbZwtVLbf0XUtDeB6oVFCzC92owiO9iaSbH2BBw8qxTv7oh1pOoXYDYbtuvOMhb6mDg/s640/Slide1.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>
Explanations-<br />
1) My new teacher chair came from Ikea and I LOVE it! I love the color and how comfortable it is! Yesterday as I sat in my classroom and stressed a bit I was loving it even more.<br />
2) I am so so happy that I made the choice to live at the beach and stuck to it. I now have my dream job and I live in a place where other people come for vacation. Can't get much better than that!<br />
3) I bought cowboy boots a few weeks ago. I still absolutely love them. Super comfortable and super cute. Love 'em.<br />
<br />
Have a fabulous Labor Day! And for those of you who start school tomorrow like I do have a great first day!<br />
<br />
Hoping I'm not too exhausted to post tomorrow.<br />

And we don't start until Tuesday! I am sitting in my classroom...it's ready to go... But I am still nervous! I know it will all be fine but my nerves seem to disagree. <br />
<br />
Super sweet story for you. Got an email from the parent of one of my kinders last year. She said "A had a great first day! But then she got tears in her eyes when she told me you were not teaching there anymore." <br />
Of course this made me cry! <br />
<br />
Question: our school is looking to get a new laminator... What one does your school have? Does it work well? Any information on other laminators? <br />
Ours went belly up last week and left everyone in a pickle. So any information would be great! <br />
<br />
Time to go enjoy my last two days of summer! And hey the sun is actually out!!! <br />

My room (except for mess on small group table) is ready! Can't believe school starts one week from today! I have meetings and trainings the next 3 days. So classroom needed to be very close to ready to go. I only have a couple little things to do-clear off small group table, get stuff laminated and hung up, finish calendar area. </div>

(warning-photo heavy!)I was very productive today! I finished projects at school then went grocery shopping(might have stopped at Starbucks-where I found out they won't have my favorite mocha coconut frappachino's again until summer... So sad!) Then a trip to Costco and Freddy's. And back home with just enough motivation to clean out and swap our cleaning/junk closet and our snack cupboards and do a few other small things in the kitchen (tupperware drawer? NIGHTMARE!)<br />
<br />
I can't get my pictures to go in the order I want them. GRRR.<br />
<br />
Hope you had a great Tuesday too! <br />

But exciting all the same!So I have been spending a lot of time at school. But this post is not related. (I did spend an hour cutting out laminating this evening.)<br />
<br />
Anyway.<br />
<br />
Guess what happened on Tuesday?!?..........................................................................................................................................<br />
.........................................................................................................................................................<br />
......................................................................................................................................................<br />
<br />
<b style="color: #cc0000;"> I became an Aunt!</b> I am so so excited! I think I mentioned before that my mom got remarried nearly two years ago. Well that meant I gained 2 older sisters, an older brother and sister in law and another younger sister. ( I became the middle child!) Well my step-brother and his wife had a beautiful baby boy on Tuesday afternoon! His name is Finnian and I love him already. And I haven't even gotten to meet him! I may or may not have already hung 3 pictures of him in my classroom... No pictures here though, sorry. No social media for the little one. But you better believe I wrote about him in my welcome to my class letter I am mailing out (hopefully tomorrow).<br />
<br />
There was something else I wanted to tell you...and now I can't remember. I am pretty sure that my new principal thinks I am crazy because I go to ask her questions and then can't remember until I get back to my classroom...then I have to walk back down the hall. Oh well.<br />
<br />
I think I may take tomorrow and just work here at home...except I have letters to hang on my word wall board and I need to print/copy my letters and mail them...All day today I thought it was Friday. So I hadn't planned on going in.<br />
<br />
Oh now I remember what I wanted to tell you. I found some funnies on pinterest tonight :)<br />

I'm breaking blogging rules and posting twice today. Sometimes breaking the rules is totally worth it!</div>
<span style="text-align: center;">So here is my classroom update for today. I feel like I actually made a bit of progress...maybe. Got my bunting hung up again after it fell down overnight. Needed something stronger than double sided tape. All taken care of. I started the morning meeting with the other 1st grade teacher. We figured out our schedules and figured out when to begin different parts of the curriculum. It was good-and productive. Then it was time for lunch because we were both exhausted and I needed to come home and let the dogs out.</span><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
