I'm sorry our blog is not at full potential. I wish I could say that I have all kinds of free time to write, but I don't. So much has went on in the past two weeks and I have been extremely busy. New job, huge expectations, lots of moving around... you get my drift.
I took a job as a 3rd grade teacher approximately two weeks ago... it was an interim job, which basically meant that if the teacher that had that class before me wanted to come back from maternity leave, I would be out of a job. School started back on Wednesday of this week... on TUESDAY, the principal (aka my boss) calls me into his office and informs me that he's moving me to 5th grade! Now don't get me wrong... I was totally stoked. It meant I now have a permanent job and I was only going to be teaching two subjects. The downside... that was about 1:00 on Tuesday... kids would be there at 8:00 the next morning... oh, my. Sooo. I had to pretty much disassemble one room, take down all of my stuff, pack everything up in my car and move it all to the outer buildings and assemble another room. All the work I had did in two weeks in one room, I was going to have to turn around and to in a few hours in the new room. Much thanks to my mom, Enforcer and Slasher though because I totally could not have done it without them. Needless to say, I was a little stressed... BUT now it's the weekend, I'm pretty much settled in, I've met my kids, and I'm ready to get this school year started- the right way! Wish me luck.
It's been a long week (or two) and we've not been around much. I keep trying to get Enforcer to post some stuff, but she keeps whining her way out of it. I'm gonna have to lay the smack-down I guess!
Anyway... pre-season is soon... very soon... and I'm pretty dang excited about it. My students really have no idea about hockey so I'm trying to get them interested in it. I have my Penguins magnets and pictures up in my classroom and I plan on getting a rug for my door. I can't wait. I have to get that first paycheck first though.
Penguins tickets go on sale on September 12th and I'm prepared! Enforcer, Slasher and I have our work schedules laid out and have the Penguins schedule highlighted to correspond with our days off! We can't wait to go to Pittsburgh!
Anyway... I have lesson plans to work on and work to get together for my students. I hope all of you are doing well. Maybe once I get settled in I'll be able to post more.
Until next time... peace, love & hockey!
XOXOXO

It's comforting to know that at least a few fifth graders out there are being educated about life's essentials (and all that academic stuff too :)
