I am so thankful for the One who makes all things new. I started my day with prayer, coffee, and {very loud} NEEDTOBREATHE. I tried very hard to push away negative thoughts about early duty (not that I think early duty is bad...just the EARLY part!). And, overall things are off to a good start this second full week of school. We are so blessed that
♡we have a NEW room
♡my assistants' positions were reNEWed
♡we have a NEW principal
♡we have 2 {darling} NEWish kiddos this year and parents who are eager to help and serve
This is my 4th year in my position as my school's "behavior teacher," and I really can't get over how much all the newness is already helping us.
I'll try to post some more photos later of our classroom, but these are some projects I finally finished up today...with a lot of assistance from my girls and my munchkins.
{Can you tell that I love all things chalkboard right now? And I'm a huge fan of David Shannon!}

David: David Shannon, of course! Did I mention that I LOVE the David books?)
Wreath: One of my super awesome students! I plan on changing the quote on the little chalkboard every month or so.
