When school starts... I will be ready

I've been shopping for the impending school year with my two lovable nieces. They were more excited than me to go shopping for supplies to decorate a classroom... way more excited than I would have ever thought. One of them told me to bring the classroom's paint swatches to make sure all of the other decorations matched the colors. Swatches? Where did they ever learn that. Do I sense some future interior designers?

Hooray!

Hi all, this is my brand spankin' new blog to chronicle the adventures of teaching middle school. I have been sitting in on classes and substituting for the past few years... and I just got hired for the upcoming school year! Yeah! Go me!

I can't tell you how excited I am to finally have a classroom of my own. This summer will definitely entail looking for decorations and other room planning. I don't think I'll have time to bask in the sun's rays when I'm basking in a new job with a new group of kids to meet and try to inspire. This past year has been crazy; I must have introduced myself to over five hundred kids, all because I decided it was a great idea to substitute at different schools, some that were substantially far away from my house.

It paid off though! Can't wait to blog about my new students.
