"I love you Teacher!"

One of the things I love the most about working with children is that they are so eager to make things for you. Cards, pictures, stories-I absolutely love it and I keep everything they have ever given me. This endearing quality inspired me to create a place in my classroom where this precious work could be displayed and valued. Of course I asked the greatest dad in the world to help me accomplish my task. My request- A giant magnet board, Dad's reply- No Problem!

This past week Mom and Dad came to visit and Dad built me this amazing (and big!) magnet board. This board is about 3 feet wide and 4 feet high and it is absolutely perfect! Just think of how much I will be able to display on my board and how good the kids will feel.

I found some great paper to cover the sides and Mom encouraged me to make some really cute magnets.

Of course I had the perfect place for my board-right behind my desk!

I also thought I would show you a picture of my room. (I still have a little more work to do before school starts!)


I just want to say thanks to Mom and Dad for everything. In one day Garrett and I got a new (well new to us) freezer, an exercise machine, a fixed desk, a fixed dresser drawer, every door in the house fixed, an amazing magnet board for my classroom, and a great time with Mom and Dad! You're the best!
I'm so excited to be a teacher!
