So I have decided to blog some about my teaching part of life. It is a big part of my life; I absolutely LOVE my job! First graders are the most fun to teach! A week from today is our last day of school! I am so excited and looking forward to being able to be a stay-at-home mom for a few months!! I am sad to say good bye to my kiddos at school. They are the best group of students and I will miss them so much! Think about it, August through half of May, spending 8 hours a day for 5 days a week with the same bunch of students (and I have a super small class); you would get attached! But, I am finishing my 5th year of teaching and I am starting to get use to the process of saying good bye and in a few months hello to a new group to get attached to all over again! For the countdown in my classroom I found this really cute idea from Pinterest and my students LOVE it! I blew up ten balloons and in each balloon is a piece of paper with a fun treat for the day. I hung up all ten balloons from my ceiling and each day the student of the day gets to pick a balloon for me to pop. After it has popped (which THRILLS my students!) the student runs to find the paper and reads the exciting news for the day to the class! Some of my treats are: extra recess (of course), 15 minutes of Smart Board games, a basketball game with Mrs. Vance, candy from the candy basket, etc. It has been a success and I will file that idea for next year! But I am so ready for summer break! I can not wait to spend time with Andrew. Due to Andrew’s multiple surgeries when he was born, we have spent the last two summers driving back and forth to the Children’s Hospital for numerous check ups, but it looks like we have finally gotten away from those and may not even have to go this summer! We will be spending it at home doing all types of fun things! …I also hope to figure more of this blogging stuff out over the summer! J
