Back to School Night!

Gotta love the excitement that comes with the first days of school! Spending the summer with my kiddos at home is always great, but by the end I'm ready to send them on their way. At that point I'm anticipating all of the NEW things I've spent the summer pinning on Pinterest. I've never really been good at creating things from scratch, so Pinterest has made my life easier. I appear creative with my teaching, but its more of a reinvention of others' FABULOUS ideas.

Back to School Night is filled with everything that I would want for my own kiddos in their classrooms. This year I'll be looping with my 3rd Graders, so I'll be transitioning this blog to 4th grade. Please be patient with me, as I'm not 100% sure how to do it yet.

The first week of school is in the books and with it my energy. I joined the PTO this year as the secretary, but it feels like soooo much more. Don't get me wrong. I love to help, but there's only so much time in the day. My family comes first and then my job, followed by the additional duties of PTO.

This week was filled with events that included 3 back to School Night Celebrations. 

Most of my students are from last year, but I do have a few new ones. With that said I was unsure if my same presentation would wow them and if the parents would show up. I was pleasantly surprised to see the majority of my parents attend. I could feel the love. 

By Friday at 2:20 The kids were out the door and I was happy to go home and put my feet up for a relaxing couple of days. my goal is to update my blog, twitter, Pinterest, and Facebook, and instagram accounts. As well as a head start on lesson planning.

Hoping to be ready for what next week brings come Monday. I'll keep you all posted.
