I've finally made it to the blogging world! Thanks Kayleen with the setup help! I am in the process of setting up my classroom now. It has been really crazy these last couple of weeks with the anticipation for the school year to begin. Last week I attended new teacher orientation (since I am still considered new which is great because I still get a mentor) and met some other new younger teachers. I was really excited about this because it is great to have support from other people going through the same thing that I am. There are also 3 new first year teachers at Shorewood. I am sooooo thankful that I had the opportunity that I had last year taking over a classroom because I feel a lot more comfortable now. Our school is still in the process of finishing up the new building that has been taking place for over a year so this makes me even more thankful that I already know that staff and some of my students. It is frustrating though trying to unpack your room when you have people coming in and moving everything around to finish painting and installing everything. But, I get all new things so I shouldn't be complaining.
On other news I found out the I will be teaching just 6th grade now! This is very good news! I am very excited to go to camp again, and we are going in October this year so it's coming up! I am also moving into my own place in Burien. There is a great program thorough our school district that offers extra money to teachers living in the area so I decided that being close to work is a great thing. I'm ready to be on my own...no more Emily crazyness =) Well thats about it for now! This just might end up being my new addiction!<3
