I'm into the third week of school and really enjoying 2nd grade. My student teacher, Stephanie is great! If only I had an assistant every day with these little ones. Here is a picture of me in our school garden. We started it last year and my fourth and fifth grade helped build a shed and also planted potatoes. They worked on it over the summer and it is filled with sunflowers and vegetables we sell on Thursdays outside of school. I have 24 students as of today and hope I don't get any more. It's a good number and just enough bodies fit in one room. It's been raining for what seems like an eternity, so I hope it stops soon. It is defintely fall here and the leaves are turning along with the fireweed. I hear that's the first sign of snow! agh! Hopefully it waits another month!
In other news, we just got orders to England on Friday! Darren had it number two on our list of bases, so we are both very excited to be moving out of the cold to a milder climate. We will be here until the end of the school year and report no later than June 11. We have several friends stationed there already and are anxious to call RAF Lakenheath our new home away from home.
