A New School Year!!

School started 2 weeks ago.. I know.. I am VERY  late!! Life is just busy right now!!  

Haha.. I know.. SOOO lame.. But I had to take a "selfie" to have a picture of my first day!!

Each year, I try to think of a cute book to make for the parents throughout the school year.. Last year I collected different art from all of the themes and put them in a binder with their monthly drawings.  They turned out WAAAY cute (well, at least I thought so)!! I hope the parents enjoyed them as much as I did.  The front page was a picture of their first week of school.. This year I somehow managed to get the picture on the FIRST DAY.. Woohoo.. Go me!! (I don't know how many of you have worked with 3-4 year olds.. The first day away from mommy & daddy is a REALLY busy day for the teacher!!!) Anyways, here's a glimpse at the cute picture!!

Two of my AWESOME parents got the mat for me as an "End of the Year" + wedding present.. It was the first time I had really seen my new last name in print and it ACTUALLY meant me.. Not my in-laws!!
I glued 4 rulers together and added the words around it. (Next time, I will NOT be using yellow.. It's barely there!!)

I started with 7 in my AM and 11 in my PM, which compared to last year's starting numbers is EXTREMELY high (6 & 4).  

It has been two CRAZY, busy, STRESSFUL weeks so far!! I can't wait until everything is running smooth and the routines are mastered!!
