Back to School!

Tomorrow is the first day back to school!  I can't wait!   What are you looking forward to most about school?  I love learning poems, singing songs and reading new books! 

Kindergarten Orientation

We just had our kindergarten orientation...a bit overwhelming, I must say!  The line for signing in never seemed to end.  We have A LOT of children!  It is exciting to see so many kids that are so happy to be starting school!  We had a few criers...but that usually tapers off after the first week.  We hope to have answered any burning questions, but please just jot me a note or send me an email with any questions or concerns you have.  I am looking forward to a great year with your child and a collaborative partnership with you, the parent.   

How Do You Fit It All In?

I'm taking a short break from blog stalking...I can't help myself!  I absolutely looove seeing what other teachers around the nation are doing, but I can't help but wonder...HOW DO YOU FIT IT ALL IN?  No, I don't mean into your day, what I mean is where do you find the time to create all that you do, to take pictures of your stuff, to post it, to read professional books, to read for pleasure, to enjoy your family, to clean your house and accomplish other home projects (NOT the school ones) and just have A LIFE?! 


I mean I have 2 weeks left of my SUMMER VACATION and I have spent countless hours working on school stuff, surfing other teacher blogs and websites, and trying to be more organized.  I just can't figure how to get everything done that I want to and still feel like I'm rested and rejuvenated for another year of school.  What's your secret? I'd love to know!
