What am I most looking forward to about summer?
Attending art camp for a week.
Setting up my new classroom.
Reading! Reading! Reading!
Redecorating our house.
Going on vacay.
Cooking for him.
Sleeping in!
We’re completely rearranging our home. Making room for the new sofa. Designing the downstairs living room to look like a summer beach house. Moving miscellaneous furniture pieces to our study to make it more cozy. So excited for a fresh look! We’ve been in our humble home for about 4 years. It’s time for an updated look.

A few weeks ago, I found out that I was moving from fourth grade to kindergarten. Kindergarten was one of those grades that I thought I would never have the guts to teach. My few experiences subbing in kinder were great, but it took so much work. Joke’s on me, right? Never say never.
My initial reaction to the move? I was heartbroken. I invested so much of my time and my efforts into learning fourth grade curriculum and getting into the swing of things. My room is gorgeous with tons of natural light and huge patio with a garden that my parents set up for me. Of course, no one likes packing up and moving. It’s such a pain!
Today, I went to visit all of the kinder classrooms for about 20 minutes. How do I feel now? So in love with kinder! I had always thought that first grade was where I belonged, so kinder is close enough for now. My passion is definitely in the primary grades. I love the art, the phonetic writing, and the silly jokes. I heart my fourth graders, but I’m definitely looking forward to watching the wee ones grow.
