Hello Classmates! My name is Christy. I currently teach 3rd grade at Icard Elementary School. This is my 10th year of teaching. I am almost finished with my graduate degree. I have 2 more classes after this semester. YEAH!
One of the items that I will be including in my Me bag will be a book about my family that I had to put together for the adoption agency. My husband and I are adopting a newborn in the near future. We have finally finished all of the paperwork (after a year!) and we are just waiting to hear from the agency when a birthmother picks us to parent her child. We do not know if it will be a boy or a girl, or even where in the US the baby will come from. Like many expectant parents, we are excited!
Another item that I plan to include in my Me bag will be my latest crochet project. I can not sit still when I am at the house, so I have to have something to keep me occupied. I crochet scarves, hats, and blankets. Now that school has started back, I will have very little time to work on my blanket.
I am going to leave my other Me bag items as a surprise until class. I do not want to bore my group members. :) Have a great week!

Christy Congrats. My principal and his wife recently received a 2 week old little girl! They went through the same process. I know that you will be a wonderful mother! Have you always taught third grade? I thought that I never wanted to leave first grade, but I love teaching third grade! I know that you are excited as you near your graduation date! Thanks for all of your help and support for us new comers!

I hope that all goes well with the adoption process and you get your bundle of joy soon. I couldn't imagine a better parent for a child than a teacher!I am excited to find out what will appear in your My Bag that you have decided to keep secret!

Christy,
It takes a special person with a loving heart to adopt a child. I hope your family will be completely happy and grow bonds that can never be broken.
All His best to you,
Annie Croon
