As promised, a photo of my classroom with tables -
Please note the broom handle... not only split in half in the photo, but desperately needed for the dust bunnies that seem to multiply like, well... bunnies. Please also note the clean desk. This is the last time it will appear like that until next summer.
Yes, that is a Yoda poster in the back. In my first year at my current school I was always saying "do or do not... there is no try" whenever a student told me they had tried to do something. Last year, it was changed to "do or do not... there is no like" in response to the incessant whine of "I don't like it". Apparently, if a book doesnt' have a dead body or other horrific scene within the first two pages, it's not worth reading.
The blank poster on the door is actually an event planner. I haven't put the titles on the boxes, but the upper portion is for announcements. The middle three boxes are where the jobs for the event are listed on little post-it notes with the name of the person responsible. The first box is "to-do", second is "doing" and third is "done." The bottom boxes are for supply lists and problems. It's a good visual reference for everyone involved.
Yesterday I finally got my computer back. However, I was only able to print a few pages before the printer went TU again... I mailed some attachments home for printing, but it doesn't look like they made it. I swear this nickle and dime crap is going to drive me nuts. I may have create a new sign for the door reading "don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish."
Today's agenda is re-working my first week's plan. I had it planned out several weeks ago, but now I'm thinking I need to jazz it up.
