Rearranging!

Ok, ok, ok...it is true I am behind!  You will have to forgive me.  I have taken on 120 hours of in-service work that will be complete June 27th.  As well, I am leading a PLC(professional learning community) amongst a core group of teachers who will be taking the Reader's Workshop and reading skills of our students to the next level. 
That is pretty much taking up every other day in the month of May for me.  Just call me C-R-A-Z-Y! :o)

Oh, yeah, and by the way I totally transformed our room Friday afternoon/Monday morning to make it more conducive to learning in my classroom!  I am all about the learning! :o)

I liked seeing the time on the clock...I had completed the task at hand(rearranging room) in a little over an hour.  Yes, that is AM time!

 This is my second year teaching first grade.

   Last year, I was scheduled to teach Kindergarten until three days before school started.

 I was moved to first grade.

  I was dreading this.

 My family needed me.  (or so I thought)

 I was just back from maternity leave.

...and I know how I am!

 I will not stop let it go,

until it is just right perfect!

 I am not perfect.

 But, I do know I am moving in the right direction.

I have been teaching since 1993.

I do not ever quit learning and teaching myself.

 I know my weaknesses.  It is this knowledge that drives me forward to be the best that I can be each day!

  Despite the tears I quietly shed to my husband on the phone in the closet so no one would hear that afternoon nearly two years ago, I am very happy ecstatic to be in first grade!
