Good morning, GATErs!
I'm amazed at how quickly this summer has gone by. As much as I love summer (imagine "love" in a 352423-sized font!), the second week of August is my favorite time of year. This is when I start transitioning back into "teacher" mode, and when I start getting refocused on what I want to accomplish in the next nine months. However - I can't believe my official report date is already this week!!!!!!!!
The room is coming together well - I'm excited about the new layout, and how it will be a great place to learn. Jacob and Teddy's families popped in a couple of weeks ago and saw the DISASTER my room was at the time. I'm excited to see the kids' faces when they see it complete! Thanks to Sophia's family, we now have two couches to snuggle up in while we're enjoying our favorite books. I'm hoping that my ceiling mounted projector will be... well... mounted! by the first day of school, which frees up a ton of floor space. I hope the kids love being in the room as much as I have.
I will not be accessible by phone for a few more days, but am always available via email. (Just don't laugh when you get a response at 3:00 a.m.!!!) Please, don't hesitate to ask any questions or voice any thoughts you have. We're in this together - and I don't know how to best serve you until you tell me!
I'm looking forward to seeing everyone on the first day of school - if not earlier!
Miss J
