My work is never done!

The day I found our I had been given the opportunity to teach kindergarten I hit the books, blogs, website and classes to make myself prepare to be the best that I could be.  Teaching kindergarten has been a dream of mine for as long as I could remember-- my dreams are finally coming true!  I was excited to say good bye to pre-school and HELLO to kindergarten!  I also knew it would be a lot of work to prepare myself both physically, mentally and educationally.  I was used to teaching only half days to my students that ranged in age from 3-5.  I now have 5-7 year olds and have them all day!  I attended my first kindergarten conference in February with some of my new co-workers.  I attended the KRA training in August and I researched from last November- pinterest, blogs, facebook, websites- books- the library-- you name it I probably looked at it this year.  I am sooooo excited to be teaching kindergarten and I want to make our year together the most successful.  I have learned through this that first, I love learning; second, my work is never done.  So how do I get it all done?  Well let me show you:

I work from anywhere-- I love spending time with my own children so when they want to do something-- I try not to say no and pack up and go-- here I worked at our pool (my parent's live next door to us and they have a pool- thanks Gaga and Papa).

See they wanted to be outside and I really wanted to keep working so again I packed up and headed out to watch them and play in between color sets! 

Well, on rainy days I could really let my office consume me but again I packed up and headed out to our living room to work while the kids had a movie day.

I usually come in early everyday 7:45 (we don't have to be to school until 8:15) and I stay late almost every night (some nights it is dark before I am leaving) I will have to show you a night time picture of the school all lit up it is soooo pretty!

And I am known to sit at my daughters soccer, basketball and softball games with my bag of tricks and treats.  My 3 year old son eats all the treats or shares them while I work on all of the new tricks for school. 

Needless to say, I find a way to get it done.  I love being organized and prepared.  Thank God, my own children understand and love spending time helping me with school projects and at our school!

Have a great weekend-- see you all tomorrow!
