The first day was great! I only have 8 students currently in my class so it is the perfect amount! I am thankful for the 6 girls and 2 boys ratio this year as opposed to the 5 boys and 3 girls that I had last year in my 3 year old class! Hopefully I won't be known as the "loud" class this year!
As I stated earlier my school this year is a Christian Prep school ranging from TK (thats me--Transitional Kindergarten) to 12th grade! I love being in a much bigger school--the energy that the high school brings is so fun! There are even 12 international students and one from Sudan! Anyway, this school is great and is not like the kinds of Christian schools that I grew up in--stuffy, cookie-cutter, legalistic, etc. Instead this school is so full of the understanding of grace and love. The theme for this year comes from 1 Peter 3:8-9, "Be the Blessing"! So I adapted the theme for my door to start the school year!
Here are my pictures of the classroom so far!

I like the flowers in your reading garden... they brighten the whole room!
Jamie, I can't believe that you are teachign at my church this year. How funny is that. I tried to come back out and see you on the playground when I was told someone out there thought they knew me as I passed by but you were already inside. I knew it had to be you from what they said. You know you are teaching my best friends son (initials TR). He is also my sons BESTEST frined. I have posted many a pictures of him on our blog. You are just gonna love it there; it is a great group of people and while the church is going through some rough spots with losing Pastor's right now and a lot of change and uncertainty, I am convinced that those who stick it out will see amazing things happen. We have to try to catch each other there one day!
Your classroom is looking so cute! I love the door! I hope this is a great year for you and all those little blessings in your room!
I love your decorations. I can just tell you are a great teacher! Love that this school is nothing like the one you grew up in ;) yay for grace and love!
Your class looks AWESOME!!! I love the bean bags in the reading garden - that would be my favorite part!
Love the classroom! So cute and fun! I'm teaching MMO at EP this year. So, I have had to get all my "teacher stuff" back out. It was a little difficult for me to switch my thinking to pre-schoolers instead of upper elementary! Isaiah is in my class which is great because it makes me still feel like a stay at home mom!! We have had some more changes happen in our life...i need to update you over the phone though because I'm [rpbably already running out of room here! Hope you guys are doing well! Love you!!
