Welcome to class kids....I'm your new teacher, Ms. Engar

Here we are into our third week living in Scottsdale, and it is getting better every minute! These are a few pictures of Ashley's new classroom! We have been busy decorating it and coming up with fun new ideas to keep the students interested. Ashley has met a lot of nice teachers that work in her department. One in particular, Mr. Ross, the social studies teacher, has a daughter named Hannah that comes to work with him everyday during the summer, and has quickly become our little pet. She hasn't really wanted to leave since we got there, and will bring us random supplies, from markers to golf balls. Ashley has been busy this week planning her lessons, since she has only a week and a half until school starts! I, on the other hand, have found my new useless talent in being able to staple small things on high walls. I have asked a few other teachers if they would pay me to decorate their classroom, but no one has gone for it yet.

We have also found a new love for Golden Spoon, a cute little non-fat yogurt place near Ashley's school. The owner know us by our first names, and wants me to work there so badly, that he actually handed me an application on my way out the door. Hey....at least I'm networking!!! Hope everyone is doing well. More to come....
