Classroom Tour

This year my classroom theme is Owls.  It is the fourth year I have used owls.  I'm loving all of the new owl products that are readily available.  I've had a great time redoing my new classroom and finding ways to use all of the neat new owl products! I hope you enjoy the tour!

Meet the Teacher Night

I'm always excited about a new year.  This year with the change from 3rd to 2nd I was also a little anxious.  All of the fears and anxiety went away tonight as I met my new class.  I'm in love.  They were so cute as they came in and explored our new room.  I can't wait until Monday as my new adventure in 2nd grade begins.
Below you'll find pictures of the gift my kids received at meet the the teacher night!
