Today was our day of full meetings before school starts on Monday

August 26th.

We discussed curriculum.  Our district worked very hard to create our curriculum this summer.

Katie was a member of the council that worked part of their summer.

What a great job they did.  Congratulations to the entire council!!

We have Meet the Teacher Night tomorrow night!!

Lots to do tomorrow!

Just a quick unit for Alphabet Review to start the year.

Then of course we do a more thorough study of the sounds of letters in the weeks to follow.

It helps with color word retention and 

recognizing things that are those colors!

I did go to my classroom this morning

and Whew!!! It was 92 degrees at

7:45 am.  Thank you to my thoughtful husband

for helping me get the heavy stuff moved before he

went to work this morning!

I worked until 9:30 then went to

Wally World for some cleaning supplies.

Everything will need to be dusted really 

good as I finish putting the materials up.

I have been reading and following many blogs and

know lots of you have already been working

in your rooms.  They are looking great.  I am soooo jealous!

 I will go for the first time tomorrow morning.  My sweet 

husband is coming with me to help lift all the heavy stuff.  

I know it will be really hot--

temp. has been over100 degrees 

this week.  I am in an outside 

building and there is not a lot of insulation.

If you have already started classes, 

Bless You!
