I am starting to prepare myself like a responsible adult should for the fact that in a few weeks school will be underway. Today Laura and I went to my classroom to start getting it ready for a new year. She did a fabulous job doing the floor to ceiling bulletin boards that I really struggle with and she moved big heavy tables and computers for me.
I think I will like my room a lot more this year. Last year was my first year in this classroom and the teacher before me was a 20 year kindergarten teacher who left me everything. I had a hard time knowing what to keep and what to let go of since I had my own 6 years of materials. So, I stripped the walls to nothing and I am starting fresh this year. I have been purging lots of things. Also, since I know I will be having a substitute for at least half of the year I am motivated to organize my things. Otherwise they won't be able to find anything. I think I will be able to enjoy my vacation next week lots more knowing that lots of the big stuff is done in my room.

Good for you getting started on all that classroom stuff! I can't believe the beginning is so close! The end, for me, is much closer - one week away! Spare a prayer or two, if you can!!!
And I'm going to drop your stuff off sometime next week. :o)
