It's the start of a new school year for me and for my 27 new students. Tomorrow is the first day of the 2010-2011 school year, and I'm starting my 7th year with the largest class I've ever had. It wouldn't be the start of the year without excitement mixed with nerves. I can't help but wonder what challenges are ahead of me, and I'm excited to meet those challenges with energy and knowledge. It's always a little bit sad when I delete the names of last year's kids from my computerized class list to replace them with this year's list. But the chance for a fresh start and the hope of bonding with a new group makes it worth the new start each August. I made these "back to school" cupcakes for our teacher meetings at the beginning of the week. I promised a co-worker some cupcakes for doing a favor for me, and she was nice enough to share these "apples" with other teachers. The cupcakes are neatly displayed on my new cupcake stand from my future mother-in-law. What a nice way to show off my creations. Hopefully I can make some time to keep up the cupcake hobby throughout this school year!

An Apple for the Teacher
