This year I will be in my fourth year of teaching and my third grade level taught! My favorite question people always ask is "Oh, what grade do you teach?" and my answer is always.... "what have I not taught!?"
My first two years I taught adorable first graders and in my third year teaching I was lucky enough to *loop* up to second grade with my class. What an experience that was! I learned so much about myself when I was able to explore different avenues of teaching, because I already had a very high comfort level with my students and their families at the start of the school year. The end of the year was bitter.sweet as I said goodbye to my kiddos of two years. Some of them definitely needed a break from each other, but in the end, we were all a big family.
This year I am beginning yet another journey in teaching... PreK....
Our program is funded by VPI (Virginia Preschool Initiative) and this year many Virginia schools were given a grant to add another PreK classroom to their school. When our school added their second PreK class, I seemed like a good fit. So this year I will be dipping my toes into something new... again!
So to get this blogging thing started, I guess I will start by keeping you posted on my new classroom set up!!
My only current classroom picture is of some of my new organizing labels. Needless to say, I got a little carried away with my labeling. But I love how colorful and organized my cabinets are turning out!

I can't wait to come visit and see your new classroom friend!! You're going to do great in Prek. :)
I've read all the posts on your blog tonight and I love everything you've wrote! I'm in my first year in Pre-K as an assistant teacher (aka parapro). I graduated with my bachelors degree 2 years ago and worked as a supply teacher covering maternity leaves in what seems like every grade and every school!
Crafty Cupcake,
Thank you sooooo much!! Where are you working?! Sounds like you've had a variety of experiences too!
