August--how I love, and hate, you.

I think Michael Scott accurately depicts the feeling teachers have when August rolls around...

If you're like me, the moment you realize it's August 1st, you immediately have a slight panic attack, followed by butterflies, followed by a pit in your stomach. And, the school nightmares begin. I've already had one: it was meet the teacher night, and an hour before it started, they told me I was switching classrooms. So, I had meet the teacher night in a closet filled with boxes. It was terrifying, and so believable! I hate those dreams. August comes around and suddenly you're mourning the end of summer, but, whether you admit it or not, you're actually kind of excited about starting a new year and getting your classroom ready for a new bunch of kiddos.

I've made a few changes in my room this year, and I'm so thrilled with how it has turned out. I don't usually like to do a "themed classroom", but I do love cutesy nautical stuff, so I've decided to bring that love into the classroom. But I tried to do so without going overboard on the decor. I like to keep my classroom simple, and only put up displays that are meaningful and useful. I especially have to be particular in what I choose to display because I'm in a learning cottage (trailer), so space is limited and valuable. I have to say, I love the way it turned out!

Here are a few sneak peeks of my classroom. I'll do a full classroom post soon!

  3. Cute classroom, LOVE LOVE the balls for sitting!! I am a retired teacher of 30+ yrs. I taught in the area of special education, literacy coach, and even began as a speech therapist. Retirement is highly recommended but I honestly never believed I would ever actually be retired. I guess I saw myself as teaching up till God calls me Home! HA!! I dearly loved teaching up until the last 5 yrs and I struggled with all the new laws and restrictions. At age 55 I was too old, too tired, and too opinionated after having done it MY WAY for way too long. I realized at 55 it was time to pack up and go to the house. I did just that and have never looked back. I babysat my 6 month old grandson up until he started pre-school at age 4. Hang in there. Public School (I'm assuming you teach in a public school) is is vital to the lifeblood of our country. You young teachers have the energy and knowledge to make a difference in so many lives. At some point you will too Pass the Torch.

  9. I'm recommending Dr. Kham to everyone who has herpes simplex virus to get the cure from him. I was diagnose of herpes virus in 2018 and i have been searching and asking questions to see if i could get something to cure the disease because i did not believe what the doctors say that there is  no cure to it, I came across a comment on a blog and the person was saying how she was cured from herpes virus  after using Dr. Kham herbal medicine. I quickly contact Dr. Kham and explain my problem to him and he said that i should worry no more that i should be glad for contacting him for help before he prepare the herbal medicine and send it to me through UPS and gave me instructions on how to use it and he assured me  to go for checkup after taking the dosage for two weeks which i did and  after two weeks of taken the herbal medicine and my result was NEGATIVE. I waited another month and I went for another test in a different hospital and the result was still NEGATIVE and my doctor told me that I am completely free from herpes virus. so i came out here to tell those people that say there is no cure for herpes virus that they should stop saying it and they should contact Dr. Kham and see what will happen to them in two weeks time and i believe that you will also come only  here to testify about his good work also, Am so happy and grateful to Dr. Kham for what he has done for me and i will continue to share this for people out there to know that there is cure for herpes. You can contact Dr. Kham on email and WhatsApp to get the cure from him.

  11. Typically, carpet needs to be replaced every 10 years or so. Harder surfaces such as wood, tile, and vinyl usually last at least 20 – 25 years. This all depends on your exact circumstances, though. To ensure that your new flooring lasts as long as you intend it to, make sure to purchase from a high-quality manufacturer and go through all the proper steps for maintenance.

  13. How I Got My Husband back... Am so excited to share my testimony of a spell caster who brought my husband back to me. My husband and I have been married for about 6 years now. We were happily married with two kids, a boy and a girl. 3 months ago, I started to notice some strange behavior from him and a few weeks later I found out that my husband is seeing someone else. He started coming home late from work, he hardly cared about me or the kids anymore, Sometimes he goes out and doesn't even come back home for about 2-3 days. I did all I could to rectify this problem but all to no avail. I became very worried and needed help. As I was browsing through the Internet one day, I came across a website that suggested that Dr.Odu adebayo can help solve marital problems, restore broken relationships and so on. So, I felt I should give him a try. I contacted(WhatsApp) him and told him my problems and he told me what to do and I did it and he did a spell for me. 48 hours later, my husband came to me and apologized for the wrongs he did and promised never to do it again. Ever since then, everything has returned back to normal. My family are living together happily again.. All thanks to Dr.odu adebayo If you have any problem contact him and I guarantee you that he will help you. He will not disappoint you. you can WhatsApp him(+2347055287754)or Email him at : poweroflovespell@gmail.com.

  14. Knowing Dr Amber has been a blessing to me. His spells are incredible with no side effects. I suffered from brain cancer for years with a lot of bills piled up on my neck. I play the lottery hoping that someday I will win big to clear up my debts, live the good life that I've always dreamt of. I was referred to Dr Amber by a friend of mine in South Africa telling me that he can help me win the lottery. I had a chat with Dr Amber about winning the lottery and he was so confident about his work that made me believe in him knowing fully well that he has been helpful to other people. He did a reading for me that made it clear to him that I was going to become a winner after he had prepared the spell for me. He told me the exact ticket to pick and I was declared the winner of ONE MILLION DOLLARS at the "Double Your Money” instant lottery game. I don't know what you seek for but Dr Amber can help you.
