Have you ever had to change rooms? I have friends that have, co-workers that have, but me? Not until I'd spent 11 years collecting an arsenal of teachery things and a tiny bit of junk.
No better way to find those long lost had-to-have items and go through a major decrapification than to pack up almost a dozen years worth of stuff and move it five doors down!
It should have taken a couple days. Maybe a week tops. But that's for normal people.
For us hyper organized, over-thinker, picture-drawing decorators....we have to spend several hours just staring at the new space visualizing how that stack of books might look there or maybe those baskets.
Then we have to lose a couple nights sleep during the summer picturing how each piece of furniture will fit into this new space. And once that's done, don't even get me started on how on earth to combine my orange, blue, green monster theme with these new bright red cabinets.
And then it's the middle of August, and the room is still not done.
But it's close!
Good thing I won't have kids until after Labor Day. Because a student could not possibly learn how to read without a little more red decor to bring all the colors together. :-)
(*disclaimer - cell phone photos are not fab)
Uh-Oh I Broke a Rule space.
It's getting there.
My co-teacher called me the boarder queen...I'm filling the title adequately I believe!
I'm also the Student Council sponsor so I've designated the back of my room for the grown up space of Student Council. It's going to be a year of service projects for which I'm completely excited. Our theme is We Can Light Up the World. I just keep thinking what an awesome opportunity I have this year to work with our students and community!
