Back to School

Well, it is that time of year again! I have actually gotten a little later start than planned. Our building was approved for major renovations over the summer and got all new energy efficient windows as well as a central air and heating system! The renovations took longer than planned and we have had to postpone the start of school for our building! So Gabi started 2nd grade as scheduled last Thursday and I will have my official first day of school on Wednesday! Last week was quite busy with dusting, cleaning, and reorganizing my room but with the extra week of time we have been given to work in our rooms without all of the unnecessary meetings I am feeling better prepared than usual. My room is complete and I still have 2 days to plan my lessons and organize my files!

Gabi was excited to get back to school to see all of her friends. She seems to be blessed with a great teacher and group of kids in her class this year! She was so excited the first day of school to inform me that she had library and as a 2nd grader she now has the privilege of checking out TWO books! She checked out a chapter book about a fairy and read from the time she got off the bus! She read the entire 60+ page book before bedtime! She was so proud of herself and wanted me to start a reading chart for her! Hmm, she definitely takes after her mom.
