It's that time of the year again...for students and teachers! My good friend, Mary, is back in the classroom. She teaches kindergarten at the Boones Ferry Grade School in Wilsonville. Mary is a very dedicated teacher so actually she has been in her classroom for several days of the past two weeks (her own time!). And her classroom shows it! She is all organized, ready and just waiting for next Tuesday. She is teaching full day kindergarten again this year. So far she has 20 students, however 4 of those have some kind of special educational needs! We were wanting to get together for lunch, so I brought sandwiches to her and we sat at the little tables (brought back memories, I tell ya!) and ate our lunch in the classroom and had a great visit. She made me feel like a very 'special guest' as she brought me around to all her coworkers and introduced me as her friend. And even though all teachers had been back in the classroom for two and a half (paid) days, there rooms were nearly not ready for children!
But that is my friend, organized and ready to do battle -- with peace of mind knowing everything is in place! Her mom is 97 years old and is living with her...so she feels the need to be particularly ready in case she needs to take some time off. We had a great lunch and I loved seeing all her interest centers. I just LOVE her period!!!
