Open House

The LHES Open House was a success!  I loved every parent and student I got to meet this evening, and I believe it went quite smoothly.  I must say, however, after this long week of meetings, and frantically trying to set up my classroom, I am ready for Tuesday!  I am going to try my hardest to stay updated with my blog, but I make no promises as this is my first year of teaching.  Amidst the struggle, stress, frustration (and hopefully some smiles), I will do my best to keep you updated on my progress as the year passes.  Below are the most recent pictures of my classroom (which I am very proud of, if I do say so myself):

My class library, which still needs some work (as noted by the "Under Construction" sign). 
I'm waiting on my class library and book baskets.

...And We're Back!

I am happy to report that I've had a very relaxing summer, and I am now ready to embark on my first year as a teacher!  I will be teaching second grade at Laurel Hill Elementary (GO LIONS!), and I could not be happier with my placement and the wonderful staff I will be working with.  I am both excited and very overwhelmed by all the information I have been receiving during this past week at "Great Beginnings," but I am eager to set up my classroom and welcome my students at Open House.  Below are a couple pictures of what my classroom looks like, and I will be posting new pictures once it's all decorated and ready for the first day!
