Gearing up for school to start...

Hey! I hope you had a terrific summer and you are excited for school to start next week!

We are all busy unpacking and getting our classrooms ready for you to be here. (I wish I took a before and after picture of my room, you know how many boxes we all had haha!)

I'm looking forward to working with you this year! See you on Tuesday!!
