And to that other teacher too, helping her set up her class. AND that you are going to make up a thank you book with the kids for the previous teacher and send it! You truly are a blessing to everyone. And your ABC pillows and flash cards look FANTASTIC. That was some nice fabric, it is so bright and cheerful. Actually, EVERYTHING is great! And I'm sure that already the kids aren't missing their old teacher (no offense against her!) because you are so loving and good that the kids are just going to go crazy over you before you know it. Well, you'd better go lie down and rest, you've been very busy and you must be tired! Now Hop to it! ;)<br />Love,<br />gvGloriahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05089446185793581415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-76404381769591240772013-04-09T05:36:48.894-07:002013-04-09T05:36:48.894-07:00The Rabbit Room is fabulous!

Brought back lots of memories for me when I was interpreting for a deaf kindergartner...I spent most of that year on the floor, covered with glue, glitter and God-knows-what that the kids smeared around; had a wonderful time. You must be a GREAT K-teacher -- lots of stimulation for those kids. They're a lucky bunch of bunnies....Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11658880722411505714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-21142657080110922872013-04-08T10:30:49.316-07:002013-04-08T10:30:49.316-07:00Dear Kathy, I loved reading your story about your ...Dear Kathy, I loved reading your story about your first week in the new classroom.

The room looks great. I love all of your additions, esp the bright pillows and your bandana couch.<br />You are very thoughtful to add the pictures of the former teacher and your plans to send them to her.<br />I think the kids will warm up quickly to you.

Your classroom is fantastic. <br />It looks like so much fun! <br />Now, listen to this . . . it might blow your mind a little bit, it did mine :)<br />My Steve works for Central Washington Concrete, he is an assistant manager over 5 different plants, plus a couple rock crushers, it is owned by Old Castle, your husband will probably know them. Before this promotio, a few year ago, he drove mixer truck for 23 years. Also, for ten years I worked as a preschool teacher. That was a long time ago. I quit in 1993 and went back to school for a while :) I was just surprised by these facts as I read your post. It's a small world.<br />Visit Steve's blog, I know that you are a follower. He is having a $25 Amazon gift card give-a-away, so if you haven't gotten your name in the hat please do so. <br />Have a great weekend.<br />We are going to check out the new Wizard of Oz movie this afternoon. <br />Your blogging sister, Connie :) Conniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08187302890702147585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4834267977604421778.post-57397625812287312052013-04-06T09:52:47.929-07:002013-04-06T09:52:47.929-07:00Congratulations on the new job!
