Year Two Fast Approaching!

This first year teacher has reached August, which means the full year one is about over! Guess the blog needs a new title...

I haven't thought about school much this summer. Tried to just take a mental break from it and I've been working on my house and enjoying life. I've also been babysitting. I prefer to call myself the nanny though, because we keep busy!

I've made one trip to the teacher store and found a book of Geometry worksheets that work out to give you a word, phrase, picture, or something similar if you do everything right. That way students will have an idea of whether or not they're on the right track. They're great for sick days or professional days! I've been to my classroom, but there's not a ton to do there. I don't decorate the way my friend who teaches elementary does! What I really should be doing is beginning to work on what I want those first days to look like, but who knows how much thought I'll give to that next week on vacation. Guess those 4 week days when I return and the two teacher work days will be important for that!

Also I will be having lunch with my new co-advisior for the Class of 2015... No more popcorn! We're moving to pop, so we're moving up in the world!

Just thought I'd quickly post to say that I haven't dropped off the face of the earth, I'm just enjoying the schedule of a teacher, because I must say, it's pretty great!

Enjoy what's left of summer and hopefully I'll revamp this soon!
