a new school year, back to my old room

Last post found me finishing up my year in the preschool four and five year old class at our daycare. I stayed the summer with that group but decided to take the offer to return back to the two's and three's as an aide and fill-in teacher. It's a great age to work with, plus there are two teachers  for sixteen kids verses me alone with sixteen all day. With my busy life of raising my own kids, plus finishing my ECE degree plus working full-time at the daycare, plus an upcoming move and house hunt, I needed to *only* be an aide for a while. So watch for more posts about my adventures in the 2's and 3's room.

This week we are preparing for our yearly assessment. It's a nerve-wracking time but it gives us the urge to really get in there and purge the room of unwanted items. It's a chance to remodel, repaint, and rearrange our centers plus shop for new items for our kiddos. I've been really enjoying the organization ideas I find on Pinterest. See my favorites at http://pinterest.com/iteachpreschool/ 
 I'll try to make some photos of our room once we're ready and post them on here this week.

Blessings to teachers everywhere as you touch new lives this school year.
