I am a first grade teacher :)

YAY, finally all the extra work, late nights of studying, putting in extra hours just to get a step ahead. Next year I will be teaching first grade in Fairfield! Not to many other right out of college students can say they scored a job so soon, most go out looking for a year or have to transfer to a school further away from their destination. I feel so fortunate and lucky that everything is falling into place for me. I'm really excited to get into the room, meet the kids, and all that other first year stuff. It seems like there is so much to do where do I start?
