Well since we have been in school long enough for it to be mid-term I thought that it was about time that I posted pictures of the final look of my classroom.
Our own coat/backpack room.
My wonderful collection of teddy bears.
Justin could not believe that I had collect that many over the years,
guess what I still have a few more at home :)
I knew they would come in handy one day.
I decided to arrange the desks in table form so that it would be easy to do centers with.
My clean desk area. Let me tell you no longer does it look that clean.
There is just way to much stuff that I need everyday that covers it now.
Well there you have it. After a couple weeks of being in school you can definitely tell that there are kids in there now. I cannot believe how fast the kids mess up the place.
For me it has been quite an adjustment this year. It does not even seem like I have ever taught let alone have gone through the schooling to get my degree. For all that I went through last year you would think that I would be prepared with the move to a new school. Moving was a challenge and super hard now for me to get adjusted to the new school and new fellow teachers. It seems like I never see anyone from my grade not to mention any other grade. One of my fellow law school wife friends is teaching 4th grade and it is a rare occasion if I see her. How crazy is that.
So not only do I have the school to get used to but also I have my students. I had the wonderful experience of having criers this year. Let me tell you once one started they all followed right along. By the end of the first week I was crying right along with them. Now I am not talking about little tears about missing mommy, no no I am talking about having to rip the child off the parent and making sure that they were still breathing as tears and screams were flowing. Seriously it lasted the first three weeks of school. Every morning I would pray that we could all make it through the day. This past week has been wonderful. There were no tears for missing their mommies. Hurray!! But then I had the wonderful experience of projectile vomit. Oh the joys of being a 1st grade teacher. I am guessing that this week will bring wet pants, no I shouldn't say it because with my luck it will happen.
Here is to another week of teaching! I love it so much!!!!
