Griffindor and TEACHING???

Soooo... The past few days have been pretty uneventful at the Horne home... Mom's done a lot of cleaning random stuff that she's never cleaned before (yeah.....), Dad's been playing a lot of golf, Syd's been at Pioneer Trek, Haley's been working a lot, and I.... Well I've started HARRY POTTER!  Most of you won't be too excited about this but my sister-in-law sure will... She's been begging me to read them for over 3 years now!  Well I've finally started and am more than halfway finished with the first one.  And dare I say it??  I actually like it.  Ahem ahem... Yeah yeah yeah, you were right Sarah!  It's such an easy read and still entertaining!  It's nice that I really don't remember much except that Ron, Hermoine, and Harry all survive all 7 books.... So I guess they can't be TOO captivating if I know that... But I still love it so far!  It's nice to go back to the beginning and have all these questions answered (such as "Why does Voldemort kill Harry's parents in the first place?"... I know the answer now!)  Anyways... That's pretty much all I've been up to (whilst my family has interesting, busy lives...)

Oh I also spend a lot of time on Skype with the boy and on google and different teacher blogs trying to plan for the next school year... I'm starting to freak out a little that I'll be an actual teacher, with actual kids, actually in charge of whether or not they learn anything their first year of real school.... Kinda scary.  I've found LOTS of resources online for first grade teachers though and I'm pretty sure I won't have to plan one lesson plan the whole year... There is SO much out there!  It's amazing!  I gotta say I love BLOGS!  I have found so many blogs done by other first grade teachers that give so many cute, creative ways to teach different things.  It makes me excited but also overwhelmed... There's almost TOO much stuff! (Is that possible...?)  Well, I'll figure it out I guess huh?
