The past couple of weeks I have spent getting my classroom ready for my new batch of firstie babies. I moved classrooms this year and oh mercy, did I gather a lot of mess over the last year. I have purged cabinets, drawers, boxes, bins, filing cabinets, and even the dreaded bottom drawer (where everything you do don't know were to put ends up in there) can I an amen?
This is what I walked into a couple of weeks ago. A blank slate, new challenges (two outside walls that are all cement blocks), and everything thrown in boxes. At the end of last year, when I was packing to move, I envisioned color coded bins that were neatly organized so that setting up this year would be a breeze. Ha! I was kidding myself! I should have known, that with all the end of year crazy that just wasn't going to happen. Instead my motto was "throw and go!".
But honestly, I learned that I NEED an organized classroom. My students NEED me to keep it organized. So my goal this year is to have everything have its own place! I'm also going to give my students more responsibility of helping me keep it organized. We all share the space, so we can all share in the care and keeping of it.
Keep living that teacher life!
