If you remember, last year I got in my classroom Sunday before open house was on Monday and school started on Wednesday. It was a mad dash to get things ready for the first day of school. It was SO nice this year to have a lot of time in my room to get ready. Everything is laminated this year and fresh! It's wonderful!
Getting used to Mrs. Snyder has been easier than I expected. I only introduced myself wrong last night at open house once. You'd think that would involve me calling myself Ms. Hemric, but no...I introduced myself as the teacher standing beside me. We had been introducing each other all afternoon and I just said, "Hi! I'm Ms. Zenner! ... I mean... no I'm not...I'm Mrs...Mrs. Snyder!" It was so embarrassing, but we just laughed it off.
We didn't mail out any information to students this summer about teams or schedules so if students wanted to know who their teachers are before the first day of school, they had to come to open house. As a result, we had a great turn out at open house. I think we're going to have a really good group of kids. I'm excited!
So now...
My goals for this school year:
Run two times a week (I debated putting this one out there because I hate running, but I started a running program this summer and did pretty well considering all the craziness with planning a wedding and then getting married. When I put my dress pants on last night for open house, I realized I really need to get back to exercising. So, here it is...hopefully I'll stick to it)

Eat breakfast every morning (This is going to be a tough one! I like my sleep and am not so sure I'll be getting up early to cook breakfast. So, I need something quick and easy. But, I get so tired of cereal bars and stuff like that. But, I know how important it is to eat breakfast. So, if you have any creative, fast, and easy breakfast ideas, please share!)
