💓Dear New Kindergarten Families💓
I am so glad you are here!
It's been a crazy summer and if you make it to the bonus content I will explain more.
If not, that's ok!
We are all busy people.
Please sign up for an OPEN HOUSE time slot coming soon to your email.
Please know that I am soooo excited to be your child's teacher!
Here's a repost from last year.
The sentiments and actions are exactly the same!
This time of year I find myself choosing to kick around in my classroom, happily flitting from project to project, languidly ticking off all those necessary chores that must be finished in order to have an environment that engages and captivates the attention of...me!
You thought I was going to say
"engages and captives the attention of 5-6 year olds!" didn't you? 😜
Well, yes, them, too!!!!
💜(of course!)💜
But me as well, as that colorful classroom is where your child and I will spend most of our days together once the school year gets rolling.
Our home away from home!
I love to take my time to organize and reorganize, decorate and redecorate, arrange and rearrange without feeling the pressure of the clock ticking.
So, if you have seen me or my jeep parked outside the school at 1am
(ya, I totally lost track of time on THAT day)
know I am doing what I LOVE to do
Our year will begin soon.
And I LOVE that too!
I can't wait to meet you and your kindergartener!
Just add kids!!!!
Disclaimer...long read coming up if you are interested.
Otherwise, see you at Open House!
Meet the Teach and What I Did This Summer:
First of all if you haven't gleaned this tidbit yet, let me state it again: I love teaching little humans!
💗
But I am also a wife to John, a mama to 6 (Shae, Graham, Leland, Maeve, Sorcha, and Fionn), and Grandma to 11 (those sweeties live in Baraboo, WI Indianapolis, IN and West Palm Beach, FL
I am lucky enough to visit them all a couple times a year, although I wish they lived next door!
We live just outside of town in a 128 year old brick farm house with lots of empty rooms now that all 6 kids are grown and gone. We've 3 dogs and 3 cats, chickens and fish (who actually overwinter in the library at school!) Gone are the days of goats and horses...whew!
We just moved my mom to the Senior Living near Target in Winona, so I am still quite busy "mothering" my mom.
I love to craft and make art and all things sparkly!
My hubby and I are backpacking the 300 mile (325 with spur trails) Superior Hiking Trail that more or less follows the ridgeline above Lake Superior from Wisconsin to Canada. We have about 80 miles to go as we backpack in sections. We go "Up North" 3 to 4 times a year to tick of sections primitive camping at Finland, MN usually but sometimes we sleep in the deep woods. He goes for the forest, I go for the time in Lake Superior (I have been in that big beautiful Lake every single month of the year!)
So here are some shots of our summer:
In order to save you time reading and me time typing, here is what you'll see: forests, Lake Superior, children, grandchildren, dogs, camping, backpacking, outdoor bathtub (one of my greatest joys!), lots of fun with friends, and wait for it.........
Goat Yoga!
(actually more goats than yoga!)
