HOWDY! Summer is over and it is now time for me to teach a new group of kids! First thing to teach..... my NAME! The kids are so funny when they try to say Schwartz. Thursday was meet the teacher, and I met nine of the sweetest kids! The parents were awesome! One mom wrote my name down so she could have her daughter practice how to say it. WOW! I have a feeling that I am going to have another great year! This past week I have been working very hard on my classroom. I have to say I am pretty impressed, and it looks ten times better then it did last year. Last year I was LOST, but this year I think I have everything covered. I am super excited about just having one class and teaching all the subjects. I really missed the science part last year, and I am even excited about teaching math this year. I know MATH! I must be going crazy! Well Monday is the first day back with kids! I am so glad that I am at a wonderful school with amazing co-workers. It is just a good feeling knowing you like to go to work everyday and it is not a drag! Well I hope you enjoy the pictures of my classroom. I know I know there is a lot red, white, and blue! Oh yes I did make those curtains and pillows!!

The Past Week

What a busy week! The parents came into town on Tuesday and will be here till tomorrow. So we have had lots of family gatherings. My sister and I got with the parents on Wednesday and went swimming at the pool with Aaron and Allison. Thursday Dan and I had a BBQ at our house and got both sides of the families together. That was a lot of fun. It is very rare that we all get together. The next day I had a lovely training for work, and then Dan and I had dinner with my mom and dad. Dan managed to go fishing on Saturday and Sunday. He was also very lucky to be invited to the Texans game on Saturday night by his friend Matt. He had a very busy weekend and now he is back at work tonight. Today I hosted a candle party and I was lucky enough to get all my purchases for FREE! Thanks everyone that came and bought something! I promise your houses will smell WONDERFUL! Well I am sad to say that my summer is coming to an end, and I will officially be working again next Monday. It has been a wonderful summer and I am going to miss my time off, but I am ready to get back in the classroom. Now that I know what I am doing I think this year will be a breeze! Dan is even more excited about me going back to work because he says I spend all of his money when I am off. I don't agree! Well I hope everyone had a wonderful weekend! Till next time....
