welcome to mrs. monaco’s classroom
a look into my second home ~
my classroom for 2013-2014 …
today at open house, some of my very favorite previous students came back to visit-
loved seeing them-
and i am so proud of all of them!
*never thought i would be a “wildcat” growing up… our biggest hometown rival …
AND blue and gold … worst combo possible for a redskin and buckeye. 🙂 
*i love this book and usually go to amelie’s french bakery before every new year and re-read the key concepts- i actually have the author’s son in my class this year- and would recommend her books.
“smart apples” board
out of my seven years of pre-school stress- this one takes the cake… 🙁
i keep telling myself- ‘be optimistic, be optimistic, be optimistic.’
*my focus this weekend is to continue to count my blessings- i am healthy ~ my loved ones are healthy and i just need to do my very best and pray for a good school year.
… as 127 new students come through my door next week, i remind myself:
best wishes to all teachers and students as they begin a new year…
