I feel like I've been a completely neglectful blogger lately, but this was definitely one of the busiest beginnings ever! I hope you will all forgive me! My daughter started Kindergarten and my son is now in junior high. I had a friend who had heart surgery the first Friday of school and a friend who had brain surgery just two days ago.Our schedule this year is crazy busy and a little choppy so it makes getting things done a little harder than usual. It seems like we've had little mini meetings every other night after school. Add all of that to the normal craziness of the first few weeks of establishing rules, procedures in Kindergarten, a Zero Hero visit, two tornado drills, two fire drills, four intruder drills, a substitute when I attended a field trip with our upper elementary students, a co-worker on maternity leave, a guest reader, three student birthdays and getting to know students and their personalities and abilities and I've just been plain exhausted! Oh, I've been teaching, too! :)






Super, duper, sweet Shannon from Kindergarten Hoppenings, sent me her Monster's Unit out of the blue! It was such an incredibly sweet gesture and so very generous! I hope you will immediately go check out her unit on TpT or Teachers Notebook.

Well, in case you can't tell, I just love this little bloggy world that brings us all close together and gives us the feeling of being in each others classrooms, even if we are miles and miles away, we aren't so far apart in this little part of the world! {Group hug!}

Over the next few days, I will be posting about Grandparent's Day and also, what we hope to be doing for Patriot Day and Constitution Day.
