Eeeek School Starts SOOOON

Greetings friends!

So, I have almost completed my two weeks of training! WAHOO! The Spalding final is tomorrow, and then we are DONE!!! It has been a looooong two weeks, but good too. I have met so many nice people, and everyone I work with is super sweet! Spalding is a pain in my rear, and there have been a couple long sessions, but other than that! I have really been enjoying myself!

It is so crazy to think that in less than two weeks, I will have students walking in to my classroom! YIKES! It is starting to feel more and more real! We get to move into the new campus next Tuesday, so that is really exciting! I got my class list today, 29 1st graders! YIKES! I can't wait to meet them all! I have gone shopping one to many times to get stuff for my classroom, and I can't wait to start decorating it! I have gotten so much cute stuff! For my classroom jobs board, I decided to call it "Miss Fix's Pit Crew"! So each student has a name on a little person, and then when it is their turn to be a specific job, there little person gets to drive the little car. The different jobs are Driver (line leader), Taillight (line backer), Speedy Delivery (messenger), Clean-up Crew, and Paper Passers! I am really excited about it! :)

I really haven't done much outside of training here in AZ! Me and Becky did go to Phoenix last weekend so we could pick up some supplies at Lakeshore, so we got to see a little of the area! As far as Casa Grande goes, I know where Target, Wal-Mart, the mall and Coldstone are! What else do you need? ;) We've also got to use the pool a bit which has been really nice especially on the really hot days! Overall though, weather has been pretty good! I guess there was record rain-faill for the area last Saturday, maybe I brought it all with me from Minnesota! :)

So overall life is good! Crazy, but good! I am really enjoying preparing for my first year of teaching, and I think God has big things to teach me this year! He has already blessed me immensely , and I feel like there is still more in store!

I will keep you posted as the start of school gets a little closer! That's all for now!
