This week!

This week is my last week of being nanny Megan for a couple of weeks! I am excited because that means I get to see my family! This is the first time Jeromy is coming to Minnesota and Wisconsin to meet everyone! We leave June 24th and arrive in Minnesota to spend time with my grandparents. And then on the 29th we are headed on a 6 hour long car ride to Maribel, Wisconsin to my aunts farm for our family reunion! Wahoo! I am so excited!! But in the mean time this is just one of my favorite kids I get to spend the next three days with 

Yum! Pop tarts for breakfast!! Love him!!!! On another note, I cannot believe he's five going on to kindergarten.... Where has the time gone? 

Happy Tuesday friends! 

Life right now....

In 5 months and 11 days I am getting married! YEP! MARRIED! I get to marry the most caring, patient, loving, kind, compassionate, handsome, hard working, and adventurous man I have ever known (besides my dad!). He is absolutely wonderful, and I am so BLESSED!

Let me tell you... he has me on my toes! He is always on the go!

This is from the day he proposed to me <3

Besides planning a wedding and making my head crazy! I just finished my fist year of teaching 1st grade at Northwest! I LOVED it! I am truly living my dream. It was funny to go back and read my first blog posts about me fist starting out. It was fun to see all the pictures of me creating and 

Holy moly

Wow! I cannot believe its been 8 months since I have written in this blog. Just goes to show how crazy the life of a first year teacher really is. Phew!! I'm exhausted! Now, there's only 28 more days left of school! Can you believe I have been a teacher for one whole year?! My dream has literally came true! I'm in LOVE with my job! My class is amazing! I couldn't have picked any of them better! They all hold a special place in my heart! As this year dwindles down and I get to enjoy my first summer off as a teacher I can honestly say... I CAN'T WAIT UNTIL NEXT YEAR!!! :-)

Ill post a blog of a snapshot of my year soon! Right now I'm at the gym on the bike writing this! :-)
Happy almost Friday friends!!!

crazy lady!

I have been working so hard to get everything done for my new classroom! So much so that I have been running around like a CRAZY LADY with my head cut off! One week before I have to be at work for the very first time and my classroom is NO where being done! Praying I get it done soon!!!!!!!!

Here's what I have been working on:

IN HEAVEN!

OH MY LANTA!
Words cannot describe how excited, happy, nervous, and did I mention EXCITED I am to be in my classroom and moving things around. It's literally a dream come true.

I know I do not have a lot of followers, but I am not sure if many of you know how long I have wanted to be a teacher. So here's my story!

I have wanted to be a 2nd grade teacher since I was 8 years old. And if you asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up I would say 2nd grade teacher. I NEVER changed my mind. In fact, at one point my room was set up like a classroom. One year for Christmas I asked my mom for a Staples gift card so I could buy some teacher posters and a grade book. Every little girl loves to go shopping with their grandma. She always bought us the greatest clothes and accessories. However, I LOVED shopping with my grandma! She would bring me to a teacher store and let me shop my heart out! I would buy grade books, plan books, bulliten board fun! The best purchase I was ever allowed to make was a computer grading program. I LOVED IT! I could write in my fake students names and grades, and the computer would average them out for me! For a 10 year old that was heaven. So when I say my DREAM has NEVER changed... it hasn't!

Anyways speaking of my DREAM.... I have been preparing for my cute little firsties... right now I have 17... BUT I COULD HAVE 20! Have I mentioned I cannot wait.
Here are some photos of things I have made!

 This is my ALL about Miss Franco Book! This is how I will be introducing  myself to my cuties!

 My library book labels! I am adding pictures too, so they know what is in each bin!

 Big dry erase board! I will use this for reminders and important papers.

 Papers to be sent home basket!

Papers to be turned in basket!

 Pom Pom erasers. The little ones I nanny for helped me test this out. ( one used to be in 1st grade and LOVED this idea!) I think they will last for a little while, then I may have to re-glue!

 My writing rubric! I created this to show the student show important detail is! It demonstrates this through the story and the picture. :) It's about my sister Hannah.

 My school section in my All About Miss Franco book!

My birthday balloons! They are glues to silly straws! I am in the process of adding Kool-aid with a ribbon!


The BEST part of me finding is JOB NOW is that I am ALREADY allowed in my classroom! Below are some pictures from it. It is a work in progress!

 <3 <3

 This is my reaction every time I enter this room!

 I think I like my desks like this!!

 This is what it looked like the first day I saw it!

 I am in AWE!

So that's what's been happening! I must say it is pretty good for only working a couple of hours a day.  I have been working and answering phones at my mom's pre-school!
Alright time for me to do my project for the night

I think this would be super cute during my calendar time! :)
