Inservice started on Wednesday and I’ve been very busy setting up my classroom, making lesson plans for the first two weeks, attending meetings, and getting excited for school. I have my classroom set up so nicely. My mom and I went shopping and I got some things that can only be described as…adorable!
It’s been a challenge arranging 24 desks in a room, where I only had to squeeze 14 last year. But, I think I used the space quiet efficiently. I’m also excited to have my desk near the door this year. Last year, I just kept it where the last teacher had it. But it’s so nice to immediately see who is at the door and people don’t have to walk to the far corner just to talk to me.
Saturday was orientation and meet the teacher day. I know most of the students from last year, but I have 6 new students and I got to meet two of them yesterday. Their parents seem very nice and helpful. Unfortunately, only about 8 of the 24 kids came to drop off supplies and meet me. Maybe everyone was at Schlitterbahn to celebrate the last weekend before school started. It was also great to see my munchkins from last year. All the ones who showed up for orientation came to at least say hello.
I’m excited!
