My last day of summer break...

Today marks my last day of summer vacation.  I would have to say it's bitter sweet for me.  In 19 years of being a teacher, this was my first summer not teaching summer school, tutoring, working at a restaurant, teaching a graduate class or facilitating professional developments for teachers!

AND.....I have to say... 

I LOVED EVERY MINUTE OF IT!

We had so much fun as a family doing so many things from going to the pool, to skate parks, to traveling, to reading endless number of books!  Seeing summer vacation again through my children's eyes was magical for me.  I am looking forward to next summer already!

With that being said, I am also SOOO EXCITED for the start of a new school year!  I love setting up my classroom, to planning team building ideas and lessons to the professional development!  (I will post pictures of my classroom this weekend!  I love the new set up!).  I also get excited to see what my colleagues did over the summer and reconnect.  Lastly, I LOVE the school supply shopping!  Every year, it's like Christmas for me when I get to buy new supplies for my classroom.  :)

How are you feeling on your eve of going back to work for the 2014-2015 school year???
