More Frazzled Than Usual...

Like most classrooms during this time of the year, we have a countdown for summer. This countdown was alot of fun...UNTIL IT HIT ME!  18 DAYS LEFT OF SCHOOL?!?!? I have assessments, packing, end of the year stuff to do. Not to mention, I'm not done with these students yet! There is still so much to do. I am feeling extra frazzled today.

All of my stress and anxiety is really getting high. This is my first year as a classroom teacher with my own room. I was hired in this position because the previous teacher passed away very suddenly. There are many things in my classroom that were her's. Her family has come to get the personal things that were special to them. I guess if no one claims them by the summer, these things will be mine to use for the next year's students. This is very uncharted water for me.  We shall see what the next few weeks and years bring for me!

I found this picture and thought it was appropriate.

My First Time....

This is my first time to blog! It's a new and exciting adventure for me. My name is Katy. I have a 4 year old daugher and I am a 2nd grade teacher. I bet you can guess where the name of my blog came from. I am 26 years old. I live in Fayetteville, Arkansas. I received my batchelor's and master's degree from the University of Arkansas. My boyfriend of 6 years, Joe is behind me every step of the way. He helps me through this crazy thing called life. I am lucky to have him. Ok, enough of the resume part of this blog. I am writing this blog for many reasons, I want to share my life with others. I want to share my teaching, parenting, cooking and life experiences with others. Bare with me, I have found that the things I do get better with time.
