Well, my hopes in making this a great first grade blog is on hold for a bit. I had my gall bladder removed this last week and really underestimated the recovery rate. I'm finally feeling okay now on day 5. However, its July and there is so much to do!! I am in my last semester to earn my masters, have a trip to North Dakota to celebrate my grandma's 90th birthday, and have a classroom in shambels. (I was told in March that they needed me to move to Kindergarten. After much dismay, I accepted the idea and started packing. Well, fortunately and unfortunately, the week before school got out, I was told that I was going to stay in 1st.) Yay, but what a mess. So I admire all you teachers out there who are working hard and starting to get ready. I am inspired and anxious. I am pumped though to now be part of this great community and to learn from all of you!! Thanks to my 3 followers. Maybe one day I will have more.
