Last Day before the First Day!

PHEW, what a crazy day today was. Meetings all day, internet access issues at school, followed by computer issues at home ... sorry I couldn't post this earlier! I also STILL don't have access to any school emails from the last 24 hours so I apologize if I haven't replied to something you sent early. In the interest of my sleep (!!) I'm just going to make this a picture blog! Here's the new room all ready for our first day!

Our new para, Jana, who is an intern in the severe special education/deaf ed program at BC.

(Thank you Cathy and Jana!! This will save our sanity this year!)

More beautiful library area!

I cannot wait to see the kids tomorrow and see how things go. It might be a bit of a rocky start with a new room, new staff and LOTS of new routines, but I know we'll get it all figured out together! Check back for 1st day pictures! :)
