"In everything give thanks; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you." - 1 Thessalonians 5:18
I am thankful for many things today.

I am thankful for my rice cooker. While I am kind of ashamed to admit that I have never made rice without a rice cooker before, I can make a pot of rice like no other - ha! On nights when we are tired (tonight), running late with dinner (tonight, thanks to that twenty minute power nap turned two hour nap!), or are in need of a shopping trip, this little guy saves the day!

I stopped by my new school this afternoon after work to pick up some curriculum so I can begin planning. I hadn't yet been given a tour of the school, so I asked today if the secretary had a moment to show me my classroom. She ended up showing me around the entire school. First stop, Room 503. That's me! I am in love with my classroom. It is so clean - I will have no other teacher's things to sort through when I start setting up. One entire wall is windows, more than half the height of the wall (I would love to get some fabric and get valances made for them!). I am connected via a bathroom to the other first grade teacher's classroom (we are both new to the school this year). I have a whiteboard! I couldn't stop smiling the entire time I was in there. I cannot wait to get in and start making it my own. Now that I have something to picture, my obsessive mental planning and setting up will begin. I became even more excited as she showed me more and more of the school - it felt so cozy, and I felt so at home there. I am beginning to get excited about the school year starting. I was hoping that feeling would come soon!

A book was delivered from the library today. It has come highly recommended by several friends, and I couldn't wait for it to come.
I am hoping to be challenged by this book. One of my friends said that it changed her complete mindset - needless to say, I am excited to begin reading and learning!
What are you thankful for today?
