Pre-Planning week

So, I am going to try to keep this up so we will see! This week was chaotic and stressful. I ended today (after working 11 hours) with 23 kids and everything in order. I am sure by Monday it will be a disaster. We have 23 kids (more I am sure will come) and our limit is 18. Don't have enough books, desks or chairs. I have done all I can do. I know God is going to have to carry me this week through it all. It is going to be stressful and I am going to be even more exhausted than I am now. I am ready for bed and it is only 8:30. I plan on resting and recooping because Monday we hit the ground running! Pray for strength, peace and our school year!

First Blog-Summer is over!

Well, summer is officially over. Where has this summer gone? My alarm is set for 5:30 in the morning and boy is it going to come early! Tomorrow, I start my 4th year of teaching. This will be my 3rd year teaching 1st grade. I am really excited to be back at such a wonderful school with great co-workers. I am blessed to be at such a great school! We have some changes this year, so I am hoping they will be smooth ones that will be able to be handled easily. I am praying for my students and parents that I will have this year. I have been blessed in the past with wonderful students and parents. Some parents I have even made life long connections with. My first ever class will be 3rd graders this year. Man oh man does time fly! Be in prayer for all of us teachers this school year. We have a tough job and many people don't realize all that we do and go through. I pray that we all have a great year! Be on the look out for stories about my year in the blog! Love ya'll Jeremiah 29:11!
