Even though it's the end of the school year, as a teacher you can't help but start thinking and preparing for next year, at least I can't. Now that I have a year under my belt I feel like I have a better hold on what I need to get done to make me feel less stressed. I'm feeling a little anxious about next year even more so, because I will not be teaching 4th grade next year. I'm getting moved to 1st grade. It's a big responsibility for sure. Some people think I'm nuts for being so excited to be moving down to 1st. But I'm over joyed! Some of the comments people have said to me are:

1. Wow you get to tie shoes!

2. You have to deal with potty accidents

3. Good luck with all the runny, snotty noses

4. I'm glad it's you and not me

5. You do realize 1st graders don't read, like you're going to have to teach them that.

6. The good thing is they give you unconditional love

7. They hug you more than 4th graders hug you. I hope you're ready for that

I am so excited for this fall. It will be challenging, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm also thrilled, because I get to teach along side a fantastic team of 1st grade teachers!

BUT I'm glad summer is right around the corner.

Eleven o'clock Church

This is what happens when you have eleven o'clock church, nap time is at 10 o'clock, but of course on Sundays never gets his nap at 10, and lunch is at 12 but he won't eat early becuase he's not hungry yet and by the time sacrament is over graham crackers and juice won't cut it any longer and you have to leave church to feed your kid real food and he falls asleep in his highchair after taking three bites because he's so exhausted from all of the above and getting in two molars.......
