Rearrange – I am
constantly moving things around. I wonder if there is a support group for
teachers like me?!
I snapped some
pics of my room at the end of the 11-12 school year. During the year, things piled up, clutter grew, drove me crazy……. So
when school was let out I spent time CLEANING/PURGING. Then moved another K
rooms materials (low enrollment for 12-13 school year and my teaching partner
lost her job) into my mix and shut the door until August!
When I stepped back
into the classroom in August, I begin the quest to find a place for everything
and put everything in it’s place. Enter: surgery for my son, surgery for me, a
team of 12 cheerleaders to coach and it led to a quick quest!
Do you have to
tear your room completely down to the bare bones in the spring, so that the
custodial crew can do their thing? If you do, then you feel my pain. When Fall
comes, I struggle to remember just how things were working and how I want them
to work.
Whatever. Enter
school year 12-13. The pictures below are the pictures from right before Open
House 2012. Since then ‘we’ have moved in. My 20 students and I have found
places for the things that are important to us and that we use everyday. Now
I’m ready for another purge. It’s time to unload those cupboards that haven’t
been touched and the tubs that haven’t been opened.
Wish me luck. I
have report cards to do and conferences to lead this week. But I do have a lead
on a small “office” space just a hop and a skip from my classroom where some of
the overload could reside. Hmmmmmm. I wonder how that would work.
If you read this
far….. please share your answers to the following questions in the comments.
Happy Teaching!
