New School Year!!!

Glad to be back teaching again! This year I teach 4th and 5th grade. Also, while another teacher is teaching my kids Bible I am teaching 3rd grade math. So...I am very busy!! I have learned a lot and am glad I got to come in the beginning of the year instead of at the end or 2nd semester. Before we started teaching this year our Pastor challanged the staff with this:
