My Former Life

I've alluded to my past life before in ye olde blog.  Before little missy stormed onto the scene, I was a teacher.  I taught for eight years in the public schools, and the majority of those years, I spent in kindergarten.  I ♥ kindergarten.  I ♥ the students I had.  I ♥ creating curriculum.  I did not ♥ the other nonsense that went with it.  But, nevertheless, I do get a little nostalgic about my teaching days.  During my last year at my school, the district website started launching virtual tours of all the campuses.  Lo and behold, they chose my room as one of the classrooms to film.  So every once in a while for memory's sake, I like to go and revisit my former classroom.  Click on the link below and select classroom 3 to glimpse my former world.

That being said, I always enjoy the opportunity to go visit my former teammates at my former school.  Today, Cora and I trekked down to visit.  "My" room looks so different now.  It's super cute with a puppy theme.  Cora adores it!  It was fun to catch up with everyone and see the changes in curriculum and in the rooms.  I can admit that I coveted that nervous tension leading up to the teacher meet and greet this afternoon.  But, once I recall the crazy stress of the first month of school, I'm snapped back to reality!!  Good luck ladies!  You're going to have a great school year!
