I’m going to be a real-life teacher!!!!

Friends, itโ€™s true!!!! I am going to be
a real-life, have-my-own-classroom teacher!!!! ๐Ÿ™‚ Eeeeekkkkk!  I am SO blessed and SO happy!!!! Well, I would love to share details, but I have not signed my contract yet. So,
grade level and other such things will have to be revealed later (sounds
mysterious, right?) ๐Ÿ™‚

Regardless, knowing that I have three
months before school starts is AMAZING and means my to-do list is UBER long. So long
that I just has to link up with Hadar, Teri, and April with my Summer Bucket
List! Here is just a glance of what Iโ€™ll be doing! ๐Ÿ™‚ (Click on each of the
pictures to learn more.)
*For my classroom*

*For my apartment*
(i.e. my first attempt at living on my
own)
*For me*

As you can tell, I have been giving my
Pinterest page a workout. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Well friends, make sure to stop by Hadar, Teri, and Aprilโ€™s blogs to link up your Summer Bucket List and get some fabulous
ideas along the way!
YAY for being a real-life teacher and
summer,
-Catherine

      Thanks, Tania! I am SO excited. ๐Ÿ™‚ Yes, there are two class sets of iPads for my grade and the third teacher did not want them (gasp!), so I snagged them. ๐Ÿ™‚ Thanks so much for stopping by.
