A person's a person no matter how small

School is almost here. It seems really strange that summer is actually coming to a close and that I will be a teacher in less than two weeks. For those of you who don't know, I moved to Inwood Iowa and I am going to be teaching 1st/2nd grade at Inwood Christian! There are 8 kids in my class!
My room is coming along...I basically know where I want everything. Now I just need to get it laminated and up on my walls. I went to the teacher store the other day and got a poster/banner for my desk which says..."A person's a person no matter how small" from Dr. Seuss. I couldn't resist; it was so cute.
I also got these Dr. Seuss guide to green little sayings...about turning off the water while you brush your teeth and using reusable bags and such. I thought they were adorable and it is good to make them aware :)
Today I finished planning 1st grade phonics and reading for the first week. This afternoon I am going to work on centers and get some things organized in the room. Oh! I also got scholastic book orders and I got SOOO excited! There are so many amazing books!

I saw the movie Julie and Julia last night and thought it was adorable. It made me want to blog again and since I was planning on it with the whole new adventure of teaching, I decided today was a good day to start! There was also a preview for a movie called 'The Lonely Bones' which looked really good at first...and then it turned super creepy. I can no longer watch scary/creepy movies especially since I live by myself.

Well I will do my best to blog frequently with thoughts, pictures, questions, stories and what have you.
This is my house!
