YEAH!  Our first day was totally awesome.  I might be the luckiest teacher in the world to get such wonderful students.  I know we are going to great things this year.  I got our Edmodo accounts up and running so tomorrow we will be learning how to use our ipods to access our morning assignments.  It will be crazy and exciting. :)

I can't wait to see you all again tomorrow.

P.S. --- Don't forget to read tonight.

I am going to be asking you what kind of teacher you want to have so be thinking about what makes the perfect teacher so you can help me be a "rockstar" teacher this year.  Dust off your thinking caps, polish them up so we can get to learning.

Check out our garden - it has some ginormous plants in it.  We are going to be learning about the garden and having some outdoor classes within the garden space. 

See you soon,
