1. I made it through my first five day week of school. I think I’d like to invest in a coffee IV. Last night I was in a daze because I was so tired. (But speaking of coffee.. I’ve actually cut back. Last year.. I drank 2-3 travel mugs a day. Now I drink one cup.. in the morning at home. Truthfully.. this is ONLY because I don’t have time to go to the coffee maker at school.)
2. Speaking of coffee and cups.. how cute are these:

My Cooperating Teacher had these sent to Justin and me after our wedding! I absolutely love them and think they are too cute! Thanks Michelle
3. Justin was traveling this week. It made me very anxious because it was the first time I had the dog by myself AND was working. I ended up bringing Colby to camp for two days because I had some meetings after work and didn’t want to leave him all alone. He was so happy to stay home and sleep yesterday!

4. I love seeing the sunrise on my way to work. The sun has been blazing this week!

However, I DO NOT like the fact that I misplaced my sunglasses in my room on Wednesday and have yet to find them. I’ve been a scatter brain this year.. and on top of that.. I rearranged my room to make it more learning friendly.. so I also lost my phone and my keys. Phone and keys were found. Sunglasses still missing. I think I need some sort of organizational help stat.
5.For the first time in the history of my teaching career (which is a big bad three years…) a parent brought in a HEALTHY birthday treat!

Woohoo for fruit! The kids loved it too!
6. I am going to my parents’ house after work today. I haven’t seen them or my brother since Justin and I returned from our honeymoon. I’m exctied to see them.. but not excited that I have to get two cavities filled on Saturday. Yep. 2 cavities. You didn’t misread that.
7. This picture makes my day. It is just too freakin’ cute. First grade love?

Awww that picture is too cute! Way jealous you get to hang out with cute little kids all day! (Although I can’t even imagine…I’m sure it’s a LOT of work).

That parent bringing healthy birthday treats is so awesome! Just when I think there’s no hope for the world.
I loved that last pic when I saw it on IG.
LOVE those coffee cups! And that last photo is just adorable!

Those mugs are so cute! I saw on Pinterest a thing that said you can write on coffee mugs w/ permanent marker than bake them and it will set the permanent marker to not wash off..or something like that. I pinned it – but I haven’t done it yet.. Trying to think of something creative to put on a mug.
I’m also going home on Saturday. I can’t wait! I’m watching my neice & nephew & i’m insanely excited! I love those little kids!
Ahh, I have to admit I am not really looking forward to the first week of school. I love teaching and I do love meeting the students for the first time but the first week involves too many organizational things and paperwork. I hate the paperwork. How did you rearrange your room? I will have only three days to completely put my room together!

Hi Lindsay! THe paperwork sure is annoying! Sorry it took me so long to respond.. I was busy all weekend (doing school work nonetheless…haha). For my classroom, I basically made it more of a responsive set up – making the carpet more central and using shelves as dividers between some tables to cut down on the talking! I can snap some pics and post em!
I like the idea of using shelves to create more division among the students. I am sure talking in 1st grade is often a problem. I actually just ended up taking a different job at a daycare with a schoolaged room so I won’t be in a traditional classroom this year but I would love to see what you did for research for the future.

I love that a parent brought in fruit – that should happen more often.
those mugs are adorable! I would love them but my fiance doesn’t drink coffe. {gosh he has to ruin everything
} I hate when the sun is in my eyes like your sun rise picture. It gives me such a headache and of course half the time I’m too short that even when the sun visor is down it still hits me in the eyes boo. Love the healthy fruit to celebrate a birthday! Such a good idea!
Yay for making it through the week!! I know you’ll adjust soon and be on top of things and maybe not too tired
Love those coffee mugs!
