The first 2 hour day was quite a whirlwind! I met a lot of parents and family members at Open House then more on the first day...I kept wishing for a photographic memory so I could remember everyone. I was a little shocked by how little and young third graders are...they are definitely cute but not quite trained yet. I was feeling a little overwhelmed Friday, hence the bowling and margarita night that followed ;) It doesn't matter how long you prepare, as a teacher there is always apprehension and stress around every corner. Surprisingly, all stress isn't bad! I know I sound crazy but the pressure to do your best and help the kids learn is good stress. I don't think my stomach knows the difference, but my heart does! Okay...enough soul searching...time for some pics!

| The sweet welcome sign my teacher bestie got me to put in my new classroom. |
 |
| My shiny pencils for the treat bags...I found it odd that one of them would NOT sharpen...I hope I don't get that feeling with any of my students! |
 |
| My uneven but very time consuming owl treat bags...I spent like 2 hours on these...can we say obsessed? I got the idea from pinterest but I used sticky foam for the eyes and noses which was way easier than cutting and taping paper! |
 |
| The finished products look a little better...the yellow tag says "Look Whooo's in Mrs. Weaver's Room!" |
 |
| Pinterest project...boy and girl hand gels to put on their desks when they go to the b-room. |
 |
| My Daily 5/CAFE corner...now I just need to figure out exactly how to teach the strategies...bah! |
