Who says teachers have massive holidays?

Welcome to Room 7's Blog for 2013!

I am Jenny Hunter (Whaea Jenny to students) and will be the class teacher this year. 

After a relaxing 3 week break holiday I'm back into school this week. Whilst it may seem a little early- judging by the ghost town at school (not even the caretaker is back); I have two reasons for this. 

1) I am SUPER excited to get into my new room and start getting ready for my awesome class of 2013. 

...and...

2) I am actually planning on having going away again next week and do not want to be stacked up with work! 

Today I spent about six hours at school and think that I am finally happy with the classroom layout. Tonight I have spent about 2 hours cutting bits and pieces for wall displays. This of course is followed by a mandatory pinterest browse (I have been pinning heaps to my 'teach me' board the last few days), which has reminded me that I wanted to get a blog started. Hopefully you won't see too much of me on this blog and it will be filled with the amazing work of my 34 students. 

A blog is a great way to keep in touch with what is happening in Room 7, so I encourage all parents/ whānau and students to visit the blog on a regular basis. I know that you will be amazed by all the wonderful things that the students in Room 7 get up to. I know I will! 

Here's to a productive week and hopefully good weather for camping next week. 

Aroha nui,

Whaea Jenny
