Kindergarten Kopp


So this will be my first year teaching! I have been trying to teach for a few years now and was finally offered a position as a Kindergarten teacher at my old elementary school. It's like everything came together this year. I believe God was watching over me and led me to a school where I would feel comfortable and where I would be surrounded by knowledgeable and inspriring people.

I spent the last few weeks of my summer before school starts in my classroom getting my room ready. I spent many late nights and many weekends organizing, rearranging furniture, cleaning, straightening, and making my classroom my own. Who knew being a teacher was so hard before you actually start teaching?


I was blessed to get the classroom of a retiring teacher. She left me sooooooo much stuff. I am still in awe of the amount of teaching materials that I have in my classroom for my first year. Thank you Ms. Johnson. You are a blessing from above.

I hope you enjoy the pics of my classroom. It wasn't quite ready at this point but it's an idea of what it looks like. I will take more of my bulletin boards and centers throughout the year.

Once Upon A Time...

I have decided to start my fairy tale (or blog about my life) with these magical words because they are so fantastic. Every little girl dreams of having "happily ever after" but you can't have that without a "once upon a time". I've started this blog to share my life, my experiences, and this beautiful thing we call life. I hope you enjoy and I hope I can update frequently.
