Back To Class!

I Missed Teaching! 

Well, I have finished my first day of work at the school where I will be teaching grade six. And it is: FANTASTIC! The staff was very nice and everyone helped out. I have tons of materials to start out the first few months, and it sounds like I am going to have a good class.

It just felt so good to be back in a school setting again, and talking about lesson plans, teaching strategies and  students. I think that teaching gets in your blood, and it becomes part of you, once you have taught before.

My wonderful husband is going out to help me set up classroom today. Did I mention how wonderful he is? I  have been trying to get it done all week but still have not finished. It looks like I will be going in on Labour Day Monday, too, in order to get everything done.

I  just wanted to thank everyone that was so supportive in my last post, too. I haven't blogged for a bit but I appreciated your kind comments.

This week, we start with the kids and the actual classes. Twenty busy eleven-year-old's will soon be looking up at me for knowledge and direction. Excited but scared, too! Have a good week, everyone!

Woohoo!

Well, last night I got the bedroom done! It looks beautiful, and freshly decorated ... like a completely different room! And, it was all decorated with stuff I found while decluttering! Ha, ha ... yet another advantage to decluttering ... finding tons of stuff!

My husband loved it, too, and we had such a wonderful sleep in our cozy, romantic bedroom. I feel good that I met my goal ... to have things in order before I went back to work. We both spent all day Monday "labouring" in the house ... and it's great. We have about 10 or more garbage bags full of stuff that we purged ... ready to go out, when we can borrow the truck.

And I did feel so much better today, knowing that my bedroom was so peaceful and organized at home. And the rest of the house is not far behind. It feels so good ... !!!!!

Well, I have to run to get back to work tonight. Adios!!!
