A New Year

Phew! That week was a whirlwind! 
Between getting my own little people settled into their school and welcoming a brand new crop of 2nd graders, I'm surprised I'm still functioning! How did I not sleep away this entire Labor Day weekend??? 
I'm already infatuated with my new little friends SO much! They are absolutely precious to me and I'm so blessed and honored to share my days with them!
Many of my "new" friends aren't really new! I've either known them since before they were born, or I've had the pleasure to get to know them and their families just this year. 
Some are coaches' & teachers' kids, some are already familiar with our campus, and some are brand spankin' new. We all survived the first week of school together! I can't wait to explore this year together, to learn from each other, and develop a classroom family of our own. 

My goal for this page is to keep our families connected to our classroom. I hope to be able to give you that "fly on the wall" feeling when you wonder just what it is that we do in class each day. Naturally, I can't take pictures of every move they make during every lesson taught. And it's most likely that it could take a week to publish new posts. I also want it to be known that while I'm in charge of my little friends, their safety is top priority, even over their education. You will see pictures posted of them, but for their privacy, I will keep their sweet faces protected. 

Here's to a year full of Happy Little Harts! 

A Peek into the First Week

The first week of school is usually a blur for everyone. Our bodies are trying to figure out a new sleep schedule and our bellies are grumbling at odd times of the day. We are getting reacquainted with old friends and learning about new ones. In a nutshell, this week was filled with learning procedures in the classroom, as well as throughout the school building, playing "getting to know you" games, and reviewing basic knowledge from last year.
Writing about our summers and coloring a special "Welcome to 2nd Grade" page

 
Who doesn't love painting on a Friday afternoon?!?

 


Sharing our "Me Bag" presentations. Students had to bring 3 (or more) things in their bag that would tell us more about themselves.

Meet The Teacher Night

One of my favorite nights of the year is Meet the Teacher Night! I love getting to meet all of my new friends and their families! It's almost like New Year's Eve for everyone at school. Our classroom has been hibernating all summer, just waiting to be filled with people again!



 
I loved meeting all my new little friends and their families! Looks like we are going to have a GREAT year!
