Three things I'm thinking about...
It's almost August 1st!!!!!
1. I can go back into my room on Aug. 8th (for 2 days), I start pre-planning on the 15th and school starts on the 22nd... where did this summer go??? There is still SOOOOOO much I have to do before then!! Ahhhhh... Where do I begin??
2. Teacher's desk or no desk?? Do I need it? I've been thinking about this for a while. I don't know what I want to do...
3. I LOVE LOVE LOVE Pinterest!! It's so awesome! If you haven't discovered it yet, (I avoided getting hooked for 3 weeks until I couldn't resist it any longer!!)... I HIGHLY recommend it!!
Happy Blogging!!

I will be in my room on the 8th and 9th too. I feel the same way about the summer being gone way to fast but I am excited about the new year. As for desk vs no desk. I tried removing my desk when I taught kindergarten and it was gone for about a month and I asked them to bring it back. I just didn't like not having my "own space" the teacher table was OK but it was everybody's domain, my desk was just mine. Sounds kinda silly I know but hey at least I gave it a try LOL
ReplyDeleteWhere has this summer gone??? Looking at my house & classroom, I feel like I haven't accomplished much!!
ReplyDeleteWe start the 16th with inservice and open house and our kiddies start the 22nd, too! Yay for us!
About the teacher desk...think about how much you actually sit at it. I never sit at mine during the day, so I have it shoved in a corner. We have no storage at my school, so unfortunately I have to have one! But, it is nice to store all my math games in and it stays out of the way in the corner. [=
P.S. Way to go on over 100 followers! So exciting! I'm hoping to get back to bloggyworld when I get to school. We just have iPads at home, and I wish we would have got a computer instead! I miss the capabilities of some things!!
I got rid of my big teacher's desk after my first year teaching. For the past three years I've had a small table. This year, I'm only using a bookcase to house my "teacher" stuff. When do we really ever sit at a desk/table anyway?? :)

I've been wondering whether or not to get rid of my desk too! It takes up a lot of room, but I do love having a place to put all of my paperwork and stuff. Hmmmmm, let us know what you decide!
