Welcome to 3rd grade!

God blessed me with a teaching position two weeks ago.  YES, it was two weeks after school had already started, and YES we had to get everything ready in one weekend.  When I say "we", I mean me, my husband, my family, and his family.  I am so blessed to have family who support me and who spent their whole weekend helping me decorate the classroom.  Not to mention my "new" class was due to numbers, so 3-4 kids were moved from their orginal class into mine.  So they're also going through a new transition too.  YES, it was crazy and stressul.  YES, it was totally God and his timing.  YES, I know this was God showing me HE is in control and not to worry, because HE will take care of me.  YES, it all happened in a way I never would have thought, but it was God and HE is good and now I know this was what was best for me and how HE planned it.  I am so blessed. 

It has been wild and crazy and stressful, but I am enjoying teaching and I have a great class.  I also have a great team!  They are all so nice and helpful and have answered any questions I've had and have offered to help any time I need it.  I still have a lot to learn, but I know this is going to be a great year and that is where God wants me!

Here are some pictures of my classroom!
