I have wanted to have a teaching blog for a while now. Never jumped in. Today is the day! I finally signed out today (or the last Friday in May). It is a great feeling to turn in all my "information" for the year knowing that I have a full three months (any teacher knows this is not true) before I will be back in class. I say that for all the "people" who swear that the reason to teach is June, July, and August. For me, I am in "class" for 7 days in June, a day in July and our report back day is the 5th of August. This year was a little different then most. Most people who know me know one very important thing. I am a mess. I just can not seem to get organized. Well, not this year. My assistant (she is a blessing from God) stayed for three extra days to help me go through and reorganize my classroom. I have taught in this same school for 8 years now. I had a lot of stuff when I started. I have a lot more stuff! Thank you Karen Cox for great inspiration. I have looked at her sight Pre-kinders for years. Last summer she posted this post about how she organizes everything. I worked on my trade books over spring break. I loved how easy that was for the remainder of school. Then, when school was out. My assistant and I pulled everything out of the closets and went to work. It felt so good to close down my classroom knowing how much easier it would be when I go back in August.
