I cannot believe we are close to the end of July! Where has the time gone? I know that I say that every summer, but this one has been completely different. To be honest, I have been extremely busy and productive.....it feels so good! Before this year, I only dreamed about going back to school to become a librarian. After years of talking about it, I am finally in the process of becoming one! Don't get me wrong, I have been challenged this summer, but I also know that I will be a quarter of the way finished in just a few more weeks! I am so excited and proud of myself!

In the meantime, it's time for me to get back into the groove of teaching. I went and worked in my new to me classroom last Saturday for the first time.  This year, I switched classrooms, but will still teach 3rd grade. The move comes with perks though! I am back beside one of my best teacher friends, Mrs. Nakia. She and I share many of the same teaching styles and she really inspires me. I also had it painted baby blue....the only one in a school full of mostly yellow rooms. I can't wait to start decorating it (my favorite part) and pulling it all together.

Well, I'm off....one more week of sweet summer to enjoy!
