Getting Ready for School

Yesterday I spent the day with Allison getting her bulletin boards ready to decorate for her 2nd grade classroom.  I met some of her fellow teachers who were all so gracious and sweet.  Seems like such a great group of women to work with even though they probably won't see much of each other!  

Allison needed help putting up the paper and borders on her bulletin boards because it really was a two-person job.  It's hard to hold that big paper and reach those tall heights when you are a shortie.  

When I first entered her room it kind of looked dingy.  You could see tape and sticky-tack on the walls and it was so empty except for all of the clutter from the supplies and things she needs to set up her classroom.  It does have a lot of storage space though... A large closet, and a very long counter with storage underneath, a book case and a book rack.  The desks are in great condition and her desk was as well.

So... we got to work

Oh yeah, we also covered her desk!  That took a while!!

We ate lunch at Chipolte and made a few stops to pick up supplies but mostly we worked in her classroom.  

And then I dropped her off at her in-laws for a birthday party for Gracyn (Reagan and Charlotte's cousin), and so I was able to end my day with a hug from this little one (whose top right tooth has finally broken through the gums)!!  

All in all, a very good day.  I am so blessed.  Thank you Father.
