Where has the time gone?

I can't believe it, summer is almost over and it's time to prepare for the next round of kiddos. It is a little scary and exciting all at the same time. My favorite part is getting the room ready. Each year my room looks very different, I manage to come up with some new way each year to do things. Change is good. Speaking of change this year comes with a bunch of them: my partner in crime moved, our principal left, as did our counselor, plus I start the year off with a new last name. So like I said scary and yet exciting.

Today I went to the Lakeshore store and Teacher Heaven and spent too much money. Teachers are always buying somethig to make this years class the best ever. At least that's what I try to do. I would love to buy everything at once and have the "perfect" classroom, but thats not possible. I think after 20-30 years I'll have the "perfect" room full of tons of things that I don't even know what to do with. All in all, I love it and can't imagine doing anything else. Thank god for summer...a time to rest and relax and prepare for the next year.

Here are pictures from last years room:
