I was super excited about it. We have DENTAC (military dental unit) come to our school and they give quick checks and provide freebies, but I know several families could benefit from these extras.<br /><br />Thanks for the follow! I just visited your blog and subscribed. Going to go follow on Bloglovin', too! BTW - I saw it said you were in Nacogdoches - I was a lumberjack (though I didn't graduate from there).

However, I absolutely love teaching phonics and seeing the tremendous growth in first. They still love learning, will let me do all the cutesy things I want, and are lovies -- because I am a huge hugger (we're allowed at our school). In fact, my greeting at Meet the Teacher is to talk to the kids then say, "Are you a hugger or a handshaker?" Then I do whichever they say. It allows them to ease up and not worry so much about their first day because they see I am friendly and cuddly! However, I have to agree that a 1.5-2.5 class would be awesome!!<br /><br />Thanks, Maribel! I am excited.

A teacher was going to stay home with her baby from the 2nd grade team so I was able to take over her classroom and my kiddos move on up. The first grade team had two new teachers come in, but now one other retired and one is moving to 4th so it worked out again. There is a LOT of movement on our campus. It shakes things up, but I also think it is a positive because it keeps things fresh. :) I hope you have a wonderful year, too!Melanie Morganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16694269712255622425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124454022257912514.post-73961798339505114462013-07-21T13:58:54.428-05:002013-07-21T13:58:54.428-05:00I've always been curious about 1st grade.

I wish I could teach halfway between 1st and halfway into second grade :) <br /><br />Congrats to you on your new position!<br />Maribel Learning in Wonderlandhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08578768476830012535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1124454022257912514.post-29601809563151477612013-07-17T11:10:37.681-05:002013-07-17T11:10:37.681-05:00Congrats!

In fact, I host the Texas Teachers Blog List on my blog and will be adding you to the list. I'm not sure what grade you teach, so I am going to guess and put you under 1st grade. If it's wrong, just let me know and I'll change it. Stop by my blog to check it out and get the Texas Teachers Blog List button, if you'd like. I wish you lots of success! <br /><br />Diane<br /><a href="http://teachingwithmoxie.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Teaching With Moxie</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05202133514696135765noreply@blogger.com
