Kindergarten Dream Come True

It sure has been awhile since I've posted. My life has been oh-so-crazy! I received a job, a house, and had some personal problems all in one week. I'm so glad to have the support of my family and boyfriend. I wouldn't have made it through that week otherwise.

Well, the day is finally here. I am going to be what I have wanted to be since the first day of Kindergarten when I walked in that room and saw the glorious teacher. I remember thinking "yep! that'll be me one day... I'll even wear a purple dress like Mrs. Sleff!". And here I am... 

This fall I will be the third grade teacher at Kankakee Trinity Academy. I am so looking forward to it. The excitement I get when I even begin to think about it overwhelms me. I have already started putting together teaching materials. I can't even count the hours I have poured into this already... and I love every minute of it. 

Bring on third grade (probably without the purple dress)! 

There are two classrooms up for grabs. Whomever has the bigger group of kids (me or the second grade teacher) will get the bigger classroom. Above is the smaller one. I'm banking on this one because so far I have fewer kids. It's small, but its a dream come true!
