Classroom
Well, last week I was in Utah for a few days to get my classroom ready. When I got there I went to get the car only to realize I had left my keys in NM. I borrowed our neighbor's house keys so I was able to get in and Mr. Muscles sent my keys. I got the keys Wednesday so when I went to get the car I was surprised to find that we had a flat tire. Luckily my mom was teaching summer school so I could drop her off, go to my classroom and work and then pick her back up so I could still work and use her car. I got the flat tire fixed, but all in all it was a busy crazy trip. It was a lot of fun (and surprisingly really expensive) to pick out materials for my class. I decided to go with a frog theme so we have Our Hoppy Helpers and we are Leaping Into Learning. My weekly note home will be "What's Hoppening in Sunshine's Class". We found the cutest frogs to put outside my classroom with all of the students' names on them. I found a frog calendar set with frog weather stuff. I am excited to finish putting everything up. I laminated them so they will stay nicer and it ended up being 40 feet of lamination. I am lucky though because lots of the other posters I am using are my mom's that she used so that is saving a lot of money :) Anyway I am pretty excited to continue making games for centers and to continue planning things. I think Mr. Muscles had a lot of fun with Mini-Me and the other single guys while I was gone, but he seemed to be glad when I got back. Everything in Albuquerque went well last week. It is just funny because by Wednesday night they had 29 installs and they only ended with 45 installs. This week we are trying to motivate them to continue getting installs at the end of the week.

Wow, your classroom sounds so cute!! I bet it was alot of fun to think of a put together! I guess I didnt realize you were to the stage of getting your own class/ classroom. Congrats on that. Does that mean you are a full time teacher and done with school? Sounds like things are going well with the selling! Hopefully the boys or should I say men can keep it up!
Yep, I am a full-time teacher. Instead of student teaching I chose to do this so hopefully it works out well. I am excited. My mom called today telling me she found some frog fabric on sale to make pillows for my reading center.

Wished we could of seen you, I didn't even know you were in town, I thought it wasn't until next week. Oh well, sounds like you were pretty crazy. Your classroom sounds like it will be cute. Are you going to give tours when it's done?
Well congrats. It sounds like its a much better option then student teaching. Im sure you are excited to get to do your own stuff and be incharge. How fun for you. And I am a big fan of frog decor. Conners room was frogs for a while and I loved it!! you can do so many cute things with frogs.
I planned on coming to visit, but then when I left my keys here and then when I finally got them the car had a flat tire it made things a little difficult. To add to it my grandpa was living with my mom because he had been in the hospital so he needed some help. Lots of fun times. I will be back at the end of June (25-29?) so I will come visit then.
