Meet my fourth grade homeroom kids.
It's my sixth year of teaching elementary school and it doesn't matter because the first days of school are always hectic, overwhelming, and exhausting. Besides the fact that I am teaching a new grade, I have to learn the Georgia's state standards/expectations for students and learn a whole new school system at the campus I'm at. Overall things will be great in about a month when I finally have time to plan ahead and get to know things better, but right now the stress is high. I'm very lucky though to have a key to my outside door so I can go to my classroom on the weekends or in the evenings if necessary. Anyway, the kids here are very sweet and friendly. Very southern kids! I caught myself today starting to use the same twang as they do. I guess it's just a matter of time before I do and then I'll really hear it from the people in Texas. I wanted to post some pictures of what my day looks like now and the kiddos I'll be around for the next 178 school days. Then I have to work on grouping kids tonight in order to have it all together before Monday morning. :-)

I LOVE your room! It looks great. Your kids look brilliant! I know you are going to have a great year. The flowers are so pretty and that was really nice of your parents to send those. Have a great weekend and don't work too hard on school stuff! Miss ya! KP
I am happy that your new world is taking off. Your classroom is looking wonderful and so educational. After all some of that was from Texas!! I really do wish you all the best and will keep up with you and your class. Looks like you are becoming just a little PEACH! Better get rid of that SUNFLOWER! Love you and hope that you are doing peachy!
too cute~
