1st, 5th, and 7th!

Another school year has arrived!  6:15 a.m. came pretty quickly last Thursday morning, but I think adrenaline carried us all through to the weekend.  Remarkably, this transition seems to be going more smoothly than last year.  No one is in a new building or starting school for the first time - except for me!  Because those transitions came last year for Caiden and Delaney, this year seems much more manageable - even with me starting a new teaching job.

We do have a few new things to get used to besides my work schedule:  Cambry is learning how to play the clarinet and Caiden has started football.  Cambry is practicing quite a bit, which we are glad to see (hear).  And Caiden seems to be getting more comfortable with football, after a rough couple of first days!  Delaney is just looking forward to getting back to school so she can check on her caterpillar!

So how did my first day go?  I was quite anxious about it all, but things seemed to go fairly smoothly.  Caiden said I did not embarrass him (whew)!  I am definitely relieved that the first 2 days are over with, but I am looking forward to Monday.  That has to be a good sign!

I'm hopeful for a good year for all of us!

 Here are a few pictures of my classroom - it's the room where I had high school language arts!
