Back to School

I can't believe it's time already! Usually this is one of my favorite times of the year--the school supplies, getting the classroom ready--I love it! This year, though, I have mixed feelings. On the one hand, I am excited about the new school year & all that goes along with it. On the other hand, I am going to have to leave my sweet baby!!! At least she will be home hanging with her favorite man, Daddy.

In anticipation of the start of the school year, Ellen came up to Hull-Jackson with me the other day to get things started. Our custodial staff is great & they clean the entire classroom and our offices but that means we have to pack up EVERYTHING...so, each year it is like starting from scratch setting everything up. Ellen & I got most of the furniture where it belongs & we've started getting out all of the materials. I think I got most of the Sensorial area set up & a good start on Math & Language. I took today off to go to the dentist (oh joy!) but we'll be back up there tomorrow trying to make some more progress.

Here's some photos of Ellen hanging out & the classroom in progress:
