Starting School





Hello Spartans!

I LOVE this time of year. I always get so excited to begin school. I was like this when I was younger and I have kept it ever since I became a teacher. It takes everything I have not to buy school supplies that I do not need. (Next year, I at least get to buy Gary's.)


I am officially back at school right now and I have been very busy trying to get everything ready to for the students. With no budget this year, I have been trying to read books that students do not pick up, but are just as good as the more popular names. I am enjoying this and with such a great selection in the library, this should be fun.


To the left is the series that I am actually rereading right now. This series is by Cassandra Clare. It is a wonderful series and the library will be getting the fourth book sometime next week.


Now I have got to get back to work!!
