The title of this post is referring to a number of things: Less than 24 hours before Open House and the first time I get to meet my sweet kinders! Just 2 school days away from the first day of kindergarten! And finally....just 48 hours away from the BIG REVEAL. As promised, I will share pics of my classroom very soon, I know that open house is probably the cleanest and neatest the room will be for the rest of the year so I wanted to wait until just before open house to take the pictures. I doubt I will have the chance to post the pics tomorrow night simply because I will be EXHAUSTED and the husband will be demanding my attention since he will be in charge of the kids all day tomorrow but look for them on Friday. The most exciting countdown of all? I am only 3 away from having 100 followers...YAY! I know it makes me a dork but I am so excited about almost reaching the 100 mark:)
Overall, I am feeling pretty prepared for open house but majorly bummed about an announcement my principal made at the end of the day today. Apparently we aren't supposed to send ANYTHING home with the parents tomorrow night. Instead we have to save it all until the first day. I'm bummed because I have always sent home a super organized parent packet with all kinds of great information about the class. Most of the parents usually sit down on the spot to look through the packet and many fill out all the paperwork during open house. It gives me the chance to address any questions about the enclosed information and it's a super easy way to make sure you get the paper work turned in. I know, I know, waiting until the first day isn't that big of a deal but I would imagine it will make things harder to get things returned and there will be many unanswered questions from parents. With this being said I just have to shrug the shoulders and roll with it. All will be well. Right?
On a different note I am overly stressed FOR my team members. Of the four of us, I was the only one who had the chance to work in her room before the first workday on Monday. Since Monday, we have all been in meeting after meeting after meeting. My three new friends are all scrambling to get everything in it's place and presentable by 5:30 tomorrow night. I wish I could do something to help but they are all at the stage where they have to decide how they want to arrange furniture and what they need to hang up. I think I am being most helpful by just staying out their hair and trying not to distract them too much. I am thinking ahead to lesson plans and LOVING my First Day of Kindergarten Linky Party. I am so glad for that linky party. For real. Hopefully I will be able to get activities and everything planned out and simply share it all with the team, If I can help them by taking the stress of planning those first few days off their plates I am more than happy to do so!

Best of luck with everything.
Too bad about the paperwork having to wait until the first day. I wonder what the reasoning was behind that.
