Hello July.  You have come much quicker than I really wanted. Now I have to officially say…. I start school NEXT month.  Thanks July. Don’t get me wrong… I am SUPER excited to start at my new school this year…. but that doesn’t mean that I want summer to fly by. Anywho… I have been thinking about the first week… Read More

The last day of June.  Seriously? Where in the world is the time going?  I don’t know about y’all, but time *needs* to slow down! I can’t believe that in six weeks, I will be heading back for my 8th year of teaching and my littlest will be TWO.  Holy Cow! Since 4th of July is coming (and I can’t… Read More

Well I guess I can officially say……I am moving! I will be leaving my only teaching home I have known and where I have taught the past seven years.  I have taken another first grade position in a district much closer to my home and I am SOOO excited!  (nervous, happy, scared, but very excited!) I have been packing up… Read More

They are ready for some fun!   I stopped by the dollar store this morning on the way to school and picked up some yummy candy hearts (although… Read More

The past two days have been a little extremely interesting. Yesterday was the 100th day of school, however here in North Texas, we received SNOW!  (and for those of us here in Texas….it’s a BIG deal!) We still had school, but with the weather and snow, many parents came to get their children early, so I only had 9 students… Read More

I have family in Houston who saw SNOW and ice!  Now, I know it’s January and… Read More
