Life in the day of a first grade teacher & mommy!

I totally forgot to post this!  I had it all ready and completely forgot! oops!  But here is a glimpse into a day of my life as a wife, mommy, and 1st grade teacher! Here is my Monday!

• 6:00 am alarm goes off...I usually hit snooze a few times and roll out of the bed and head straight to the shower.  Get dressed...change Essie's diaper, wake hubbie up all while watching our local news & then Good Morning America!
• 7:15-grab coffee, bagel, Essie's daycare bag, diaper bag, lunchbox, and Essie and head out the door.  We usually arrive at Mrs. Deena's at 7:30 ish..visit for a bit, kiss Essie, and drive on to work (which is just a block or so away).
• 8:00-students race in the room...hang backpacks up, grab familiar reading baskets and begin to read while I get the attendance & lunchcount done.
• 8:15-guided reading groups.  Students are broken into 4 levelized groups and we rotate through stations.  Each reading group meets with me and my broker, Ms. Angie,.
