My first post! Thank you to everyone who encouraged me to begin this new adventure!  I've been really busy trying to finish my last class for the summer, getting my classroom 3rd grade-ready, getting my Teachers Pay Teachers store going, setting up my blog, and oh-yeah ... having a summer. The switch from first to third was more work than I though it would be even though I didn't have to change rooms.  Not complaining though... in this economy at least I have a job!
