This year I have been working a lot harder, even though they say that the 2nd year is easier than the first. I guess I've been working harder because I know what I'm doing this year. Ha ha.
Anyway, all that to say is that I've been so busy I haven't even had time to read other people's blog, much less write my own. So here I am, back in blogging world, but it's a short one and also shows what's been running my life lately.
Year 2 - This was after "Meet the Teacher" in August
1 year under my belt and the 2nd one underway
Our school theme is "Team Smith - where everyone is a winner" -- basically sports, so here is my outside bulletin board for the first day with the kids names on it. I do want to say that I LOVE my students. They are great and it has been fun having 3 classes instead of 2. At times it makes the day go faster. We'll see if that continues :)
Class Rules along with the student's 'station'
empty bulletin board ready for student's work and buckets for their 'table supplies' - also, a funny story behind the lamp...I wanted a lamp like this and happened to see one in my neighbor's trash (before you judge, hear me out)...I went and ASKED them (I didn't just steal it:) and they said it worked just fine, so there ya go!
More colorful word wall than last year.....last year I had the ugly green and yellow one that they gave me (I have to do this thing called Word Junction), but this year I made a fun, pretty one ;)
Mrs. Coats coat made by Rachel - shout out! :) - also, our strategies board for classwork we do together - it already has stuff up there!
There are trophy cases out in the main hall and we had to decorate them as a team - sports theme, like I said - so my A&M stuff was perfect :) My students already say that I'd do anything for A&M - they are close to right :)

So, there ya go! That's my life in a nutshell for the past month. I hope to post some Labor Day stuff soon. Casey and I had a blast when his best friend, Scott and his wife, Erin came to stay with us!
Stay tuned! :)
