Back to School

Tomorrow I welcome a room full of kiddos....a room full of kids who know me well, some that I will be teaching for the 3rd year. I think this will be the last year that I teach kids I have taught in multiple grade levels. However, who knows, maybe I'll pop up to junior high and catch them all again. Haha, I think that would be their worst nightmare. Teaching kids multiple years definitely comes with advantages and disadvantages.

I think it will be funny to see their faces as they walk in and realize I'm pregnant, not just a little pregnant, but PREGNANT. I managed to scoot out last summer without many aware of my pregnancy. Last week I moved my classroom, got all organized, and excited about teaching solely 6th grade. I must of forgotten what hard work was because by the end of the week I was beat. Maybe that does have to do with the fact that I am nearing the end of my pregnancy. When I was pregnant with Caroline, I had the end to rest up and prepare, this year I will be working up until I pop.
Here I am 32 week pregnant. I would love to go past my due date to maximize my time off and maybe take off until Christmas, but who knows what will happen. I have a feeling since I am wanting to go late, I will go three weeks early or something like that. I do have a great sub though, so I know she can handle whatever happens.
We finally got started on the nursery. Here is where it stood at the beginning of the week. It currently has a few stripes on the wall and is coming together. I can't wait to see the final product.

To all you teachers, students, and parents...Good Luck this week!
