I absolutely LOVE my job and not many people get to say that. Now, let's be honest....there are times that I feel frustrated; I believe that just comes with the profession. Remember, I work with little people. I wake up with a smile and go home everyday with the thought "I am a better person for experiencing that today."
My classroom is a friendly and welcoming to students of all ages. I planned it that way and spent one whole summer ordering colorful items. I had three walls painted a neutral tan and the fourth wall painted a bright teal. I made curtains for the windows and painted signs for the door. You see, this was the first year for the English/Language Arts Success Maker computer lab at my school. I got the privilege of picking out and ordering my own tables and chairs for the 26 computers I was receiving. I even talked the district into getting chair pockets!! I was set when school started.
Now let me show you what I mean....

This blog will contain:

Please check in weekly, as I will update and keep the smile on my face!
