Welcome to First Grade!

I just finished my first week and first Monday teaching first grade! Here's an update, shared from a recent email to friends:



Just thought I'd update you a bit on first grade... It's going great! I love it and I love my kids. I have about 5 I am concerned about, but the rest seem to be at least mostly at grade level. I have lots of parent helpers. I have enough hand sanitizer to antibacterialize an army. I'm at school late every day (usually manage to leave around 7... tonight maybe 8). So I'm working 12-hour days and I don't even want to THINK about the tiny monetary difference between this and my summer jobs! But I'm very happy with this class and my school and this is right where I belong right now.



Please enjoy the pictures. These kids are too cute for words. They keep me busy! Thanks to everyone who is praying; I need it and I really appreciate it!
