Week 1

Well, I finished my first week of school! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. The kids tried to test me, however, I squashed that idea real quick! I had to lay down the hammer, so hopefully now that they know I mean business, I can be more fun as the days go by.

I feel so grown up...it's weird...

I had some visitors that week. Nicholas Young stopped by on his way to Jackson. I knew Will Simmons was coming, but when I went to let him in the building, he told me he had a surprise for me. Little did I know it was my best friend, Amy! They got me one of those reusable cups with the straw. (I love those things!) It was so wonderful being able to show off my room and talk about my kids. I feel like that's all I talk about now; school and students.

Monday was a holiday. (Thank you, MLK!) I spent the day in Tupelo alone. I enjoyed it. I went where I wanted and spent as much time there as I wanted. I even bought a few clothing items! I was happy, but my wallet wasn't.

Today was Parent-Teacher Conferences. I went to a meeting from 8:30-11, working in my classroom until 2:30, parents could come from 3-6. It was a LONG day!!

Looking forward to what's ahead!

Classroom

Someone recently told me that she doesn't like to read all my words and that I should post more pictures. Well, here you go!

This is my new classroom. Enjoy! :)

I made the wreath. A friend of mine painted the canvas.

This was my mother's podium. My uncle made it for her. She started the sticker collection and I've added on to it. This podium has been at Aberdeen Middle School since 1992. Now it will be with me at Louisville Elementary School.
