Oh my holy goodness.... I finally have my own classroom! It was a hectic day to begin with as parents started flooding my classroom with goods the kids were asked to bring in the beginning of school year that includes: printer paper, notebooks, Clorox wipes, tissue, etc. I never had to bring any of that stuff to school, but the school district probably not as poor as it is right now. AND teachers are underpaid.. I forked over a couple of hundred of my own money to decorate and start the classroom, but luckily my principal is willing to give me a small budget to start my classroom so I will be reimbursed for some materials.
When school started, there were so many kids I couldn't find my spot to stand. Parents and kid were everywhere and some kept asking me questions I couldn't answer. Kids got one recess and they had an assembly and longer to make up for the time. I STILL didn't any prep time with the extra time and only had a few mins to run and use bathroom. By the end of the school day, my feet were cramping and I had to change from my flats to my Nike tennis shoes. My classroom is still not complete in decorations, but I have about 2 weeks to primp it up for Back to School Night. Might need some reinforcements from friends.... if they are willing to help. Who knows.
Pics will come later. I need to lay down.
