Time for School

My summer is officially over.  I'm not sure how that happened.  It's still too hot to go to school!

A few things I will miss about the summer:
*being the last one in my family awake in the morning
*wearing shorts and flip flops all day
*tending to the garden
*playing with my kids and going swimming
*an hour a day to myself for crafting

Things to look forward to about the new year:
*eager children ready to learn
*chatting with my wonderful co-workers
*watching my students learn and grow
*sewing club
*new crayons and markers

Reading Kristin's post helped to remind me why I teach and why the summer must come to an end.  Bonus, teaching involves a lot of great crafts and art - like the backpack tags above.
