Photos

Well...I was able to figure out how to put photos on the blog. This will be good for sending pics out for everyone to see! It will be easier than emailing them to all the different people.

As you can see...my new room isn't too big. I am in room 301...the first room on the left in the 3rd hall. There are alot of good things about my room however. I have a big window which is nice. Plus I have tables for the students which is so much better than desks. It is really good since I don't have a separate lab area. I have two chalk boards and a very large bulletin board in the back of the room. (It is the one with the blue paper on it in the photos.) I also have a locking closet behind my desk. There are shelves in there and a rod for hanging up my coat in winter. I am not too excited about the chalk boards...I am used to white boards with dry erase markers. I will have to learn to write with chalk. I tried on Friday and I got that horrible screechy chalk sound. It was terrible! I will have to practice before school starts!

It was fun to work in a classroom again. Arranging the desks and hanging up the posters. I have missed having a classroom. I was busy all day. Monday we have off but the rest of the week we have time to work in our classrooms. I have plenty of time to get it all finished before school starts!

I had pretty bad homesickness on Friday. I think it was so bad because it was the end of a long, stressful (but boring) week. Unfortunately I left my cell phone at home on Friday...or maybe fortunately...because I was on the verge of tears most of the day. I was really missing home and my mom and pop and Bob. This first wave of homesickness seems to have passed...at least for the time being. I am sure that it is one of those things that will just come and go depending on the day.

Well...it is late...or early...or however you wish to think of it. I hope you all enjoy the pics!
