Can You Hear The Choir Singing?

I hear it loud and clear! They're singing...

"Hal...lelujah! Hal...lelujah! Hallelujah! Hallelujah! Hal-le-e-lu-jah...!"

I turned in my final novel, I mean paper, tonight with 30 minutes to spare. Phew, what a relief it is! I am so glad to be finished with that Master's class. I'm not a terrible paper-writer, but I don't always enjoy it either, and that's all I did throughout this class.

Thank You, Lord, for the opportunity and the resources to take this class, for the writing ability I was given, and the capacity to learn the new knowledge that may (or may not) be useful to me...
but I thank You even more that I've officially turned in my last assignment. It couldn't have come soon enough!

Back to Business...

School is in session again, which transforms me into a busy bee. Before long, not only will I have lesson plans to create, I'll have papers to grade. This year I've lovingly added another task to my plate, a Master's online college class. To top off my load, I'm attempting to make exercise a part of my nearly daily routine. Not to mention, our small group still meets once a week, usually. Yeah, I got it right the first time, a busy bee.

I think my favorite part of a new school year is the new school supplies that I buy. Everything is new; crayons, colored pencils, and markers have never been used. The classroom hasn't truly been lived in, not like a pack of 20 students 'live' in a classroom anyway. Everything is fresh, untouched (and has fewer germs).

I've posted a few pictures of my classroom this year.

Sign in for the day and let's go!

Waiting for Science to begin...

The kids have arrived!

We're HAPPY!

This year I'm wearing a mic.

And, of course, as mentioned before... this teacher has once again become a college student...

And so my plate overfloweth!
