The first and second day of school


Well, I made it through my first and second day of school. I met most of my students. 3 haven't shown up yet. Some of the others told me they moved. We shall see soon!

Anyway, I have a great class. They are almost split in 1/2 in terms of boys vs girls. They seem eager to learn!! The staff is really supportive and I think I am going to like the majority of them.

As for how things are going, the circuit breaker blew today and the other 5th grade teacher and I were without power to our main AV equipment. UGH!!! That is one thing we both rely on. Hopefully we can have it fixed soon!!


Well, I will check in next week. HUGS to all!!

I MADE IT

I have finally made it about a week ago to NC. I have started putting together my classroom and attending my teacher meetings. I am also learning my way around Fayetteville. I really enjoy it so far. It is far better than where we were in Louisiana. I am still not up 100% on a computer yet, but I will be soon.
Have a great rest of August!

I have a job!!!!!



Well, all it is official. I am employed in the state of North Carolina. I will be teaching 4th and 5th graders in the same room. This will be a challenge, but I know I can handle it. I said good-bye to my old school and staff today. I started to cry because they have been my family away from home. I just wish I could take them with me!!!!!

Anyway, I want everyone to know that I will be leaving on Saturday and I don't know when I will get to check in.

Have a great rest of the summer and HUGS!
