This has been one of the busiest weeks of my life! I started my new teacher professional development on Monday and have been going nonstop all week. I feel so behind in bloggy land. I will be catching up tonight! I can't Meet the Teacher is Thursday night! I am so excited. Here are some of my preparations: I ordered this poster from Vistaprint. I will put this easel outside of my room with some balloons tied to it. I put together a little Pinterest inspired Meet the Teacher Night Scavenger Hunt.
