The first two weeks are done!!

The first two weeks of school are in the books. I have enjoyed my 5th graders. I am still getting use to not having a true recess time, having the kids all day, teaching all subjects and no specials/ resources on Mondays and Tuesdays. I can't really complain b/c I only have 14 students. Last year I had a total of 63 all day.

I miss my friends at SPE and wish them the best this year. I really hope that they are doing well. As for my team mates, we all left SPE and are embarking in new adventures in different schools. Two of us are in different states. My friend, Cyn, is in TX and I am in NC.

I am just awaiting my hubby to arrive here in NC. He had to tie up loose ends in Louisiana and get everything moved. Lil man and I are in NC and lil man is enjoying his new school. He's attending a preschool/ daycare. I really like the people he has for his "teachers". He told his teacher today that he loves her. She really liked that compliment.

I will blog here again soon. Until then, have a great week and weekend!!!

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!

Rainbows and such

These are pictures of a rainbow we saw while driving to Hobby Airport in Houston. It was very cool!!!

I am still taking a little break here soon. Will be leaving for NC next Tuesday for interviews. Pray that I can find a teaching job! I really need one!

Have a great weekend!

Taking some time...

Well ladies and gents, I need to take a break from blogging. Darling husband has received word that he is being transferred to North Carolina. I will have to go ahead of him to find a teaching job. Please pray for us, our move, and my sanity. Little man will be with daddy for a month or so. Pray that he keeps his sanity too! LOL

I will be in North Carolina the first week of August trying to locate employment. Pray for me that I find a job in order to be gainfully employed before hubby and son come.

Keep your fingers crossed!

The great life...

HA! That's a great title. This past week has been full of running, meetings, and family. My two step sons have come for their visit. Cut short by 4 weeks because of hubby's class he had to go too. It's been really crazy b/c lil man hasn't been on a schedule since they arrived. My two step sons are 14 and 12.

On Friday we went to the Alligator park. The boys held a live baby gator. It was really neat. The older two were scared, lil man wanted to pet it like crazy. It was a great picture.




This is a gator eating chicken. They have live shows that talk about gators since this is one of the two places that they are actually found. Then we had a birthday part of the middle son b/c he turned 12. We had a great barbecue for him.

Today, I had football sign ups. This was the bummer of the day. We had only 4 kids sign up. I am really bummed about the whole things.

Well until next time.... have a great weekend!
