The Day Has Arrived!!

    So tomorrow is the day I go back.  I have had a great summer with my kids.  Albeit at times I wanted to come back sooner... Oh well it's here there's no denying it any longer.  I went in last week and spent some time unpacking and setting up my room. Our building is still under construction we've been split into two buildings, we are still split until October/November.  But, lucky me, I get to move on back as I take on the 4/5 combo classroom.  
    I admit upon entering I was a little skeptical how it was going to be kid friendly come the 15th, but the crew is confident so I will put my trust in them!  I took a few pics of the before and after.  I will save you the pictures of the hallway with construction guys everywhere, grouting, doing electrical etc.  Sorry for the quality I took them with my phone.  I will remember to bring my camera many days this year! 

 So this is what it looked like when I walked in. Not too bad...boxes stacked neatly, furniture piled in the corner. I can do this!!

 

 This is what it looked like 5 hours later!  Pretty good. Oh wait there's a giant gaping demolished wall... Oh yeah our whiteboards are being held up in Shangai. Yes! Shangai!! So until those arrive we will be getting a smaller temporary one so I will have to cover up the ends of that nastiness!! 

 

 And the back.  I love the library and all the storage!! I filled it right up.  Some of you may be wondering where my desk is, well we no longer have desks in our building and most likely across the district now. They want a more kid friendly space that is all for student use, not a big ol' desk taking up precious work space.  So I just use that big table,  pretty much a glorified desk.

  Tomorrow when I go in it is get ready for back to school night and putting up some much needed decorations/color!
