It's Getting There.

Well this is what my room looks like after two days of cleaning and throwing away garbage.

I actually found the floor so that I could lay my carpet.

My tables are almost ready for the name tags. In case if you were wondering yes they are written on. I am going to start my year with a frog theme.


This is my garbage pile. It will be gone by tomorrow. Hey don't laugh it will.

This is my closet. Clean and organized. I even have the shelves labeled.
Who knew that getting ones classroom organized and clean would be so much work.
Stay tuned for the final transformation next week. I will show you how the room looks on the first day of school!

School Web Page Update

The address has changed for the school web page it is now http://zioncrusaders.org/. Lots of new updates check it out and tell me what you think!

What A Mess!

This what my classroom looked like after about 6 hrs of reorganizing my closet and classroom.

My classroom has turned from shiny clean floors to a disaster. I wonder if I will be able to get it all in order before the 29th? That's when all the little first graders come.
Gosh I sure hope so because I think this site would make me cry!
I'll keep you updated on my progress!

Peaceful and Quiet

All the motor cycles are gone. The roar of there rumbling engines has quieted. Our campground seems empty and quiet. This was a down year for us when it comes to the Sturges Motor Cycle Rally. Last year we had around 12o sites/cabins rented. This year only 72. Although the numbers were lower it is nice to have a quiet couple of days before school starts. There is no loud music blaring through the grounds and no drunk people trying to sit in the hot tub at all hrs. of the night. I am glad that they enjoy their week long party however I am saddened that they feel the only way to have fun is to drink or do drugs. I don't know how after a night of "partying" they can get on their bikes and ride all day with out becoming a hazard to other drivers. Suprisingly there were only 4 deaths this year and 80 injuries in the Black Hills and surrounding area. I wonder though how many made it home in one piece. Many ride their bikes the entire distance. May the Lord watch over this crowd as they travel on home.
