Welcome to the 2008-2009 school year!

Welcome to all of the new parents and children in our kindergarten class. I am really looking forward to getting to know all of you through the year. Kindergarten is such a special year. As parents, your child is finally beginning their formal education, and your child is (hopefully) excited about being a "big kid." I am thrilled to be a part of this important event in your lives. As we begin to get to know each other, I'd like to feel free to introduce yourselves and share some special things you would like me to know about your child. It may take me a while to sort all of the new faces and names, but I'll get there...

Countdown to school...

The summer is ending and school is beginning. I've been working at school getting the classroom ready for the new group of kindergartners. The summer for me has been very relaxing and productive. I taught the pre-kindergarten summer school and after those weeks were over, slept in. Luckily, my 3 year old daughter sleeps in as well. We've indulged in homemade breakfasts of brioche french toast, bacon, sausage, pancakes, waffles, and toast made with bread I made myself. We socialized with friends, ate frozen yogurt at Harmony. I've knit a few things and read a few books, and of course, did a little shopping. I'm going to savor the last few days of leisure with my family and friends before the hectic days of school begin.
