moving :)

This girl is in a moving frenzy! I am moving classroom and houses. Currently our house is filled with boxes. Don’t get me wrong, it is pilled by room, labeled by room, and some are even color coded! I am THAT girl! Haha. On a totally different note, I am moving classrooms. Tomorrow I am spending all day doing my bulletin boards, organizing the huge boxes of materials I have been sent, and starting to set up!  I am starting on my classroom because we are not moving into our new house until we get home from the beach.

Yes, see that mess of a classroom. These are a few of the before photos, and that is not even showing the pictures of the stuff that I brought from my previous classroom. These would be the boxes of materials for my 8 students. Yep. You read that right. This mansion of a classroom (which I love) will house my 8 beauties and myself for the school year. At first, I didn’t spend a ton of money decorating and making my classroom “mine” however, I quickly realized that I spend more hours awake in my classroom then I do in my own home! So I still didn’t spend tons of money fixing it up, but I did spend tons of time, creativity, and hard work to make it super functional and super cute! I am sooo excited to share with you the finished products, because for this mansion of a room I have big plans. Stay tuned for “after photos” of my revamp. And if you think those are cool.. wait until you see my real home!

I am so thankful that I have the opportunity to teach. I am even more thankful I have the opportunity to teach students that may not have a fighting chance in the general education classroom setting. Special ed is my passion, and those kids make EVERYTHING worth it. Even the hours spent on writing IEPS! People often ask me why I chose to go into teaching special ed. I have many, many, reasons, but the simplest way to answer is to just say because God called me to teach. Since he called me to teach he equipped me with the patience to do so, the creativity to think outside the box, and the skills to reach kids that some may think are “never going to learn” Come to my room and I will show you that EVERY kid can learn. Can you tell I LOVE what I do?
And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me. Matt 25:40
