polka dots, bouncy colors, and a brand new challenge.....

i have begun setting up my classroom. all my desks are in order, and i have started to hang my bulletin boards. i decided to buy some new boarders and new letters for my new classroom. it is so cute. i absolutely LOVE polka dots. they are so fun. so are so bubbly. they are so cute.

don't you just love something new. i am so excited and a little antsy about all the new challenges that are laid before me. i think this is going to be a great but very new and different year. but i know that God has equipped me for this new task he has lead me too.

i have met all of the teachers that are going to be in the hall with me. they are from all over the place. i have never really worked with people that are from all over the united states. we have all been so busy getting our rooms ready for meet the teacher night.


i have my first official day in the frisco isd next wednesday. it is new to the district breakfast. i think that is a nice gesture. the district also puts on a convocation ceremony for all of the new teachers. i have never been to one of those. i really don't even know what it is. more about that later.


it is amazing all of the resources that are available in a larger district. they have a computer program where we get all of our scope and sequence from. it also comes with lesson plans and activities that you can use for the specific objectives that have to be taught.

we are beginning to get settled in our house. it is beginning to feel like home. i do miss my family and friends. but i know we will make more soon. i just have to be patient. i am glad i have school to keep me busy. i am so glad to have my girls.

they are starting to settle in as well. they are very excited to start school. it is getting to that time of the summer when they are starting to bicker and fight and get bored at home. they have met all their teachers. they all seem so sweet.

tomorrow we are going to have lunch with some of my teacher friends that i used to teach with at little elm. i am so excited. i have not seen one of them in ten years. her name alicia. she didn't have any children when i last saw her. now she has two.

after we eat we are going to buy some new school clothes. the girls are so excited to get to buy clothes in a new town. what a place to go shopping.


david is in honduras this weekend, he left today. i sure do miss him when he is gone. david's company has had another person buy into their airplanes, so they are in the process of hiring another pilot. maybe that will help relieve the flights on the weekends. david has flown for the last 3 weekends in a row.


we are going to try out a new church this sunday. i hope this is the one. i have discovered that i do not like trying to find a new church. to me that is the hardest thing about moving. it is hard enough to find a new church with your spouse, much less by yourself. but i know God is with me. sometimes it is just nice to have God with some skin. you know what i mean?



well i guess i will go for now. have a great weekend.
