Be The Nice Kid

Just got home from my trip to So Cal to see the family, and I'm exhausted unpacking, washing clothes, and putting things away.  I'll share more later, but here is a few pictures of Jess' classroom.  She is getting ready for the new school year, and she did a nice job decorating the classroom with fun stuff for learning.  I went in and helped her by watching Charlotte, and washing all the white boards for the kids - 25 of them!  It brought back memories of when I was the class mom all those school years. ; )

Have a good week.

*This board was huge and placed on the school playground.

Dearest Sheri,
Yep, those are the burdens of not being home for a while and having to catch up on all chores.
Both of us had to do that so often during our 1,500,000 miles in the air for work—not for leisure or vacation.
But the reward is still outweighing all that.
Love the be the nice kid writing!
Hugs,
Mariette

She did SO good! I love the saying on the chalkboard, and the cool tree branch she made.

The excitement of the new school year is as true for teachers as it is for students. I hope she has a great year!

The words on the big board are wonderful.

Glad you are safely home. I know Jess was very thankful to have your help...It takes a lot to get a classroom ready for the next year. My girls have taught school for close to 28 years now, but they have moved out of the classroom setting and now one is a High School Counselor and the other has her own office a small area as she is a dyslexia specialist. I'll be excited to see what all you did on your trip. Hope Jess has an amazing year this year.

You are home safe! Yeah.

I love her room decorations - What grade does she teach?

I also love what the chalkboard says. I made a copy of that and I will send to Shaye and maybe she can use it.

And my favorite is the Flamingo cup - just makes you feel good.

Welcome home, sandie

Hi Dear Sheri....
I'm sure your daughter appreciated your help so very much. It's great to have a classroom look inviting and appealing to little ones. They will all be lucky to have her as a teacher. Take it easy getting unpacked, etc. There is no rush. Take care of you, too! Hugs. Susan

What a great time you and yours had! Getting help setting up the classroom takes more than one set of hands! My teenagers helped me a lot, willingly or not.

Hi Sheri,
Glad you got to go see the kids! The classroom decorations seem to get nicer every year. I remember when I was a kid there were no decorations. Now they do an outstanding job. I love to see all the classrooms when I go back to school. Our school had an artist come and paint murials on the walls. They are so nice and well done! Hope you have a wonderful week!

Your trip sounds busy but rewarding.
Jess's classroom looks fantastic; she’s really created a fun and engaging environment for the kids.
It's great that you could help out with the whiteboards and bring back those special memories from your class mom days.
Hope you get some time to relax and recharge after all the unpacking.

Have a wonderful week ahead, Sheri! 🌹

What a great sign, Sheri! I'm sure it will bear much fruit. That school is doing God's work. I hope your daughter has a great teaching year this year! Take care. ❤️

Welcome back my dear friend :) Good to rest up after such a lovely time away. It must have been fun to go with Jess to prepare her classroom. Making a such a place into a fun and loving learning area is key, I truly believe that. Thanks for the super photos!

Debbie Nolan said...

Your daughter did an excellent job decorating and it was so nice you were able to help her too. Is it not hard to believe that the kids will be going back to school so soon. Ours starts tomorrow and it is not even the last week of August. Well take care dear one. Hope you are getting rested up from all your traveling. Hugs!
