Starting a New School Year

August 5, 2014

 Welcome Back!

This is one of my favorite times of year! I start getting "school fever" when the school supplies show up in stores. Who doesn't love a new box of crayons all perfectly sharpened and just waiting to be picked to create a masterpiece. From shopping for supplies for my classroom to helping my kids organize their supplies for school, and getting them all packed and ready for the first day...it just doesn't get any better than that!

My classroom is set up, the floors are shiny, and the building looks great! The only thing missing is another great group of third graders- YOU! So as I head back to work officially next week, I will begin preparing activities for our first week of school, participate in staff development, and spend a few minutes with each of you on "Meet the Teacher" day, matching faces to names.  Before we know it, the first day of school will be here. I will be excited and maybe just a little anxious (I probably won't sleep the night before).

So, as we begin this new school year, I want you to know that I am so happy that YOU are in my classroom-we will very quickly become family...I can't wait to get started! "LET THE JOURNEY BEGIN!"
