News!

I am officially going to be teaching 2nd grade at a school 8 minutes away!! Coming from a gal who's had to drive 40 minutes each way, I'm stoked! (So excited that I used the word "stoked") I will be moving to a new blog. I haven't decided the name yet. It's so hard to find a name that hasn't been taken! I don't want to be lame and use my name like before but if I can't think of anything, I might have to.

I'm excited to be able to do Daily 5 and Writer's Workshop next year. I'm reading a book about Writer's Workshop and I'm really looking forward to it. And Daily 5 has been an obsession since last year even though I couldn't do it at Bracker.
I got the greatest news today! My new assistant principal, who used to be my wonderful methods teacher, told me, we are allowed to paint our rooms! This idea had never occurred to me! The possibilities are endless. My head has been spinning since she told me. That was at 5pm and it's midnight.

I should sleep but I feel like I'm running out of time. I leave in a week and a half to go to Chile for a month! And I can't get into my room until after my trip. :(

Okay have to go. And on a personal note, my baby started walking last Sunday. (June 2nd) :( He's growing up too fast!
