- The yellow-orange carpet in the room (complete with its duct tape to try to keep it together) is LITERALLY older than I am. NICE, I know!
- Currently, the small bulletin board strip above my chalkboard has barn-yard animal border on it. Old MacDonald, anyone?
- Yes, I did say CHALKBOARD. Only classroom on the hall without dry erase boards! Yay for me!
- I found a curriculum guide yesterday that is dated 1986. I was three. Seriously?? SERIOUSLY???
- I also found some wonderful things on a bookcase in the back corner of my room- candy bar wrappers, gum, and- oh yes- a blueberry poptart! (At least, I THINK it was blueberry.)
- There is an entire cabinet full of teacher resources- FOR THE ENGLISH II CURRICULUM. I am teaching English III. Oh yeah, did I mention they're for the textbook that was being used when I was in English II?? In 1998???
- There are still 6 computers and a laser printer in my room that need to be moved to the new yearbook sponsor's room... and I don't know who that person is going to be!
- There are still about 200-250 yearbooks that need to be moved to the new yearbook sponsor's room.
- Until above mentioned computers, printer, and yearbooks are moved, I cannot arrange my room like I want to arrange it.
Things that I want/need to do to make this a workable space:
- Have said computers, printer, and yearbooks moved.
- Move one giant blue storage cabinet from the front of the room to the back.
- Move one blue bookcase from the back of the room to the front.
- Move my teacher's desk into the corner where the giant blue storage cabinet currently resides.
- Clean out giant blue storage cabinet and dispose of English II stuff and 1986 curriculum guide.
- Bulletin boards- I need (want) to do one "The American Dream" space for American Lit (English III) stuff. I need to also do something Business English related (The Road to Success??) I also have one to do something calendar/news related.
- Remember that even if I don't get it all done, I will survive.
