Hello Blog Land,

My Awesome Kids Together!

Well things are settling down for me. My back to school night went extremely well. I love my second graders! I showed them the powerpoint presentation that their parents were going to enjoy. They loved it and promised that their parents will smile at me, which they did! So, now its time to share what my class will be learning this month. We are currently learning all about double digit addition ( I love Amy Lemons math lessons) and we are just starting our animal units. Which I am very excited about because we are starting to integrate common core into our units. I also want to celebrate fall because its my favorite season, so I will be having them do some writing first and then they can make their scarecrows!

On a personal level, I keep having these last-time moments with my daughter. I'm not sure what to call it?? I just know that when we go to her games, I find myself saying that this is going to be the last time I see her performing... yep.. I got it bad people.. She's growing up way to fast for my comfort..sigh..
So I want to share a few photos that I recently took.

Back to School Night

The other side

IT'S BEEN FOREVER!

Hello Blog Friends,
It's been a very long time since I last blogged. SIGH.. My school year started out rough, I think it was a combination of things and then I just went into survival mode. We are on day 21 (I think) and things are going much better. So this year I plan on sharing my personal life too, since apparently my precious baby girl who btw is a senior!! Gets a little upset when I post pics of her on fb or instagram. LOL. Lets see how long it takes her to figure out that she's on my blog. I can't help it though, I am so proud of her and I can't believe my baby girl is a senior! I know! I know! Those of you that have taught her or watched her grow up its hard! So so HARD! sigh again.. Okay so now you know where my mind has been ( at least part of it). My class kiddos are coming around to my way of thinking, cause you know its all about making smart choices! My whole team is so awesome and we are all over loaded with boys this year. WHEW! So, we are also starting common core this year. Did I mention how crazy been its been? I used my favorite colors to decorate my classroom. I love purple, blues and greens, I love my classroom, I call it my happy place. BTW I hit the jackpot again with having an awesome room mom who is like my super hero!

This is my beautiful daughter on her first day of school (which also happens to be her last time going to school with me) and yes that is her driving herself to school! Yikes! 

I promise now that I am getting the swing of things again, I will blog more often. Except for this week because I have Back to School Night and my daughter has a game  Saturday night and I will be a common core training day all day Saturday too! Good Lord!
