Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!

I hope everyone has had an excitedly fun and restful Christmas! I've made updates to the Christmas page. Lots of cute Christmas shirt ideas made by fellow teachers at my school! Check them out!

New year, new class! The countdown is on!

I'm so excited about my new kinderkats that will enter my classroom in less than two weeks. I can't believe how fast summer has flown by. We received our lists a few days ago, so I have been familiarizing myself with names as I write, and type, them on everything! I have been working in my classroom, as well as my other WVES teacher peeps, to get our rooms perfectly perfect before open house. I meant to take a "real" before shot of my room before we put furniture in place, but I forgot. So, my before shot was a little after we starting getting things in place. I still have a lot to do before open house, but my room is starting to "look" ready!

I know my hubby is probably ready for our house to be rid of all the "school craziness" that I always have and bring in the house and start working on right after the 4th of July! My bedroom is covered in notebook prep stuff, my kitchen table and counter are covered with decor and goodies for my kinderkids.....but the end is in sight. The first day is almost here....and the school jitters are about to begin!
