Hellooo there...

How are my most wonderful, amazing students in the whole entire world? I'm sorry I'm not so good at this blogging thing! I could give you a hundred reasons why, but I'll just say sorry! It's nice to keep in touch this way, so please leave your comments as you think of anything or if anything happens you'd like to share. I always want to hear.

I miss you. Miss teaching 5th grade. I'm so happy with what I'm doing this year. I'm so thankful, but really miss having my own classroom, kids and teaching upper grade. I do love that I only work part time and then get to go home to my son. He is beyond adorable and is talking so much lately. It's fun to hear what's going on in his little brain. He learns so much every day.

How are you all? How do you like your classes/teachers?

p.s. I'm at Vejar on Thursdays from 10:30 to 1:00pm. On your early out days you can find me in the Kindergarten playground! I'd love to see you sometime, anytime!! :)

I got the job!!!

Well, I interviewed on Friday and an hour or so later got the call saying that I was hired! YAY!!! I'll be on the Walnut side, going to 5 different elementary schools doing kindergarten P.E. for 2.5 days (50%). I'm so glad to be back in the district!!! I'm also teaching a K-1 class on Fridays down in my area. Who knew I'd be teaching kindergarten, huh? :)

I'm so happy!! It's exactly what we need to provide for us and yet I still get to be home with my boy half of the time, too. Just wanted to share the good news!

More later...

How'd it go???

Hi guys (and gals)!!

I meant to post something yesterday! I thought about you so much and wondered how your first two days of school have gone? Do you like your classes and your teachers? Are you in classes with friends? What do you think of being 7th graders????? That's CRAZY to think about!

I hope you have a wonderful year! I love and miss you a bunch!

Love,

Mrs. Martin

p.s. I have an interview on Friday for a 50% position with WVUSD this Friday at 9:30!!! I really, really, really, really want the job!!!!!! I'll keep you posted! Wish me luck! :)

August already?

It's always about this time when I wonder where the summer went! :) July was a super busy month spent traveling, having family in and celebrating Kyle's 1st birthday! Thanks James, for remembering!! :) I'll post a few pictures of what we've been up to.

During our trip to Oregon, we stayed here...

Kyle's 1st birthday!!! Since he's LOVED his little "Mr. Fish" for so many months, we threw him a Fish Party!!

Playing with his new Tonka Truck!

Daddy shows him how to dump rocks.

Shopping at Target. He hates to shop!!

Happy Summer!!

You're done!!! Are you so relieved? Sad? Looking forward to summer? What are your plans? Tell me, tell me!

Do you like the new background? I'll keep changing it up just to make life interesting. I've been super busy lately, taking care of my grandma. Ru's been sick and Kyle is getting 2 more teeth at the moment. Busy times... but very happy, too. I will post some stories and pictures, soon.

Take care!

Mrs. Martin

What's new?

For Valerie... what a sweetie! Thanks for asking to "see" me. This was yesterday. We took Shmu out for his first ever bike ride. I miss you, too!

Hi my M-Team kids!

How are you today? I'm missing you a lot. I often think of you when I use something you gave me like a toy or a stroller, a book or basically anything in Kyle's room. Even when I throw away a poopy diaper... I think of Jessica! :)(She gave us our diaper champ.) You all were so generous at our first ever baby shower!! That was so much fun. I can look around anywhere in my house and see something that someone gave me. And I think how lucky I was to be your teacher. To have the sweetest, best, most caring and talented group of students ever! You were so kind, well-behaved, smart and flat out fun to teach!!! And when I remember all of your generosity, the dress from Aminah, the gift cards left and right, the daily meals by Derren's aunt, all the ways you took care of me while I was sick, to name a few things... I feel so happy and sad all at the same time. I was just remembering how Angel would help me wipe down the door handles before leaving every day. What a good kid. You all were SO GOOD!!! I am the most proud teacher EVER!!! :)

So how are you all? What's new? Are you excited for summer break to come? When is your last day? It looks like I'll be driving up to Walnut to tutor some students from Collegewood two days a week this summer. I'll really be thinking about you all. Let me know if you'd be able to meet somewhere to hang out and see Kyle. I'd love to see your beautiful faces again.

I'll try to post again, soon. In the meantime... give yourself a big hug for me. And take care of yourself. And be nice to any M-Team member. Always say hi in the halls. Once an M-Teamer... always an M-Teamer.

Love always,

Mrs. Martin
