So, my birthday was one week ago and I am now a mature 22 year old! Sadly, I am still the youngest teacher at my school! Speaking of gaining maturity, my knowledge has also increased about a couple of topics in the last couple weeks and I thought that it'd be good to share them with all of my wonderful blog followers! So, here is what I have learned:
1. Gummi vitamins WILL melt if you leave them in your car during the day. They form a big blop of gummi goo and are a waste of $8.99!
2. There is such a thing as magnetic paint! Anything you paint with it, will become magnetic! Awesome, huh? For those of you who were wondering, I painted my classroom chalkboard with it :)
3. It takes 35 minutes to get from my apartment to Oates Elementary school without traffic...WITH traffic, it's a good 45-50 minutes. (And there will be many more trips in the future!)
4. Bagels from Panera Bread making every morning worth getting out of bed!
and, finally...
5. Words with Friends is the perfect game to play when you're supposed to be paying attention in trainings :) Especially with Realityqueen...haha!
I wanted to leave you with this gorgeous picture I took of the view off of Ben and I's balcony! Ben keeps talking about, one day, sailing his boat in that pond/lake/reservoir so we'll see!
Pictures of my FINISHED classroom coming soon!!

i remember my first day teaching (high school), i was 23 - i crammed four years of college into five. i also remember that the janitor refused to unlock the building for me because he thought i was a student. another teacher had to vouch for me. those were the days!
good luck on your first day! you will be awesome..
