doesn't it look so crowded? everyday I would trip over all my students' stuff.
so drab and boring..........but now---look below!sh-BAM! check out this new look!
I painted that wall myself! I rearranged, got new tables that are a lot skinnier so they take up less space. I only painted that one wall. The other 3 are still the ugly walls of a trailor but isn't that blue amazing???
I honestly have been trying to think of some funny stories to share, embarrassing moments to write about, some major mistake I made and cried about at the time but now I can laugh about it but I will tell you, I haven't really had anything like that yet this year. The kids are great and they are funny but nothing too major sticks out yet and maybe that's a good thing. I am hoping for no broken windows this year
Not one student has asked me how old I am or if I have a boyfriend. Last year they asked me all those questions within the first 2 days and then continued to ask weekly for the rest of the year. What is up with this group??? I was so prepared to deal with prying 13 year olds, but I have no need. Maybe that is also a good thing.
Overall I really feel like I am myself this year. I am myself with the kids and with the other teachers I work with and it is great. I love 2nd year teaching Lauren.
Ok, next post will include funny snippets or a list of life changing events, or a top 10 of some sort....stay tuned

love the blue wall! glad this year's going well for you!
Lauren, those pictures bring me back to my classroom at Hewitt-Trussville. Last year I was teaching in the OLDEST trailer in the system, it was the former art room so my walls were a weird periwinkle color (yours looks much better). But I DO understand bumping into tables and students. I hope you have a wonderful year!
I'm on your blog list!!! Wow! I feel honored.
Also, you are my hero. I want to come visit and experience life first hand with 2nd year teacher Lauren!
hmm... blue wall. rocks. but you rock more.
