My classroom

The school that I worked at for the past 4 years was closed this past summer :( Our school along with another elementary school in Taunton are being combined together at one bigger elementary school called Mulcahey Elementary School. This is going to be a big change for everyone since both schools were very small. Now, combined together the is almost triple what we are used to. We have a new principal now too. It's going to be a little crazy at first, but I am very excited to work with everyone and to meet my new students. I will miss my Walker students so much though. They were a great group of kids who I have become very close to over the past few years.

This year I am going to be working part time :) :) :) I will be working Mondays, Tuesdays, and Fridays. This is a great opportunity for me to make money, yet still be able to spend lots of time with my boys! My mom, sister, and mother in law will be watching the boys the days I work.

We were able to move into our classroom and set it up a few weeks ago. I was lucky enough to have my sister Kendra help and Dianne Lounsbury...she worked with me at Walker and covered my maternity leave when I was out with Kole. She is an amazing teacher and friend. I am hoping that she will be able to work the 2 days I have off. The school and kids would be lucky to have her. Dianne and Kendra came in several days to help me set up. It was a little crazy at first since I had over 65 boxes to unpack and lots and lots of furniture. With their help, my classroom looks great and I can't wait to bring my new students in there for some reading fun!

Here are some pics of my new classroom (not completely done yet)

Kaden decided he wanted to play "teacher" :)
