Well, for those of you who don't know...I am now a First Grade Teacher at Lakeview Elementary in Mabank. It happened really fast!!! Two Wednesdays ago, I got called in for an interview (I had put my application in for next year), the following Monday I was called in for a second interview and then offered the job by phone on my way home. That Wednesday, I started observing some other teachers and learning some of ALL that I need to know about the school. This past Monday, I started with the kids in my class all by myself. I went pretty well, except for the emotional roller coaster of leaving the girls at the Faculty DayCare about 10 minutes away. They are liking it more and more, but it has been QUITE an ADJUSTMENT!!
This was the classroom when I got to it, well actually I already done a whole day's worth of work to it...stuff everywhere...I had to clean it out and then get it the way I wanted it, pretty much all in 2 days!! Thank you Mom for helping me!!!!
I haven't quite finished, but these are pictures as of last Friday...at the Valentine Party!
I have gone with a zebra and neon green theme...the kids think it is really cool!
Please pray for us, we are still getting use to our new schedule. The happier the girls are, the happier I can be at school!

Birthday Boy, TY!
