Firsts

So I have a semi-huge announcement...

I GOT A JOB!!!

Can you believe it?

Me neither.

I am officially a kindergarten teacher and it has been the best whirlwind I've ever experienced.

So, that means...

I got my first teaching job ever at the school that was my first choice.

I got my first keys to the school and my first very own classroom.

I'm a part of my very first team and experienced my first team lesson planning.

And today, I had my first day of school with my kindergarteners who truly had their first day of school!

I feel beyond blessed.

Sooooo...

who wants to see pictures?

Don't yell out, just raise your hands.... oh wait.  Sorry, teacher mode.

Here are the before and afters.
