Well, I survived! I made it through my first three and a half weeks of teaching. Even though I am loving every minute of it, I am enjoying my Christmas break! I am excited to have a few days to make my classroom look the way I want it and not like the way the retiring teacher left it. =) Once I get everything situated I will share some pictures.

I wouldn't have made it through my first few weeks without all of the AMAZING ideas I keep getting off of all the wonderful blogs I frequently visit. So if you have one of those awesome blogs...THANKS! =)

Stay tuned for pictures and classroom ideas!

This Thanksgiving Holiday I have SO much to be thankful for. This time last week I was jobless, substituting in a different classroom every day of the week, hoping for a steady job at some point in the future. Well, this week my hopes and wishes came through. I was interviewed on Monday morning and I was offered a position Monday afternoon. I am taking the spot of a retiring teacher and I start... MONDAY. I have this Thanksgiving break to get EVERYTHING ready, organized, and under control. Overwhelming? Yes, but I am far more excited than I am overwhelmed!

I decided to create a blog so I could share my successes and trails with all of the fellow teacher bloggers out there in cyber space. I have used your blogs so much as inspiration during my college career and I can't wait to look to you guys for ideas and inspiration as a teacher.

Well, now I must go plan my first week, decorate my room, and organize the loads of stuff the teacher that I am replacing left me. Wish me luck! If any of you have any advice, I would love it. =)

Happy Thanksgiving.


Since this post is about what I am SO thankful for, I decided to join my first linky party over at What The Teacher Wants! I am new to the blog world so hopefully it links up correctly. =)
