It's that time of year for me: time to transform my room
from empty to full.
Right now there are just a few boxes laying around.
Tomorrow I will get busy and put everything in their right places.
This bulletin board will change to being one about the students' activities--
their sports, band, 4-H, etc.
I can keep a better eye on this one and thus prevent students
from changing some of the pictures--usually another student
or a faculty member who they don't like!
That little rolling 'chest' holds the computer and projector
for the Smart board.
This is new for me this year.
Right now I have a movable one,
but . . .
I'm supposed to be getting a wall one like this one.
However, if I don't, I will be grateful for this.
Change is 'a'comin' and it will arrive in full force next Tuesday
when the empty halls and rooms will fill with students.
Check out Francesca's Fuoriborgo for more corner views.
Nice clean and spacious classroom! In our schools, the students stay in their classrooms, and the teachers circulate - your system makes more sense to me.
ReplyDeleteOld times!
ReplyDeleteSoon this will be your second home again, full of discoveries, learning, improvements, deceptions, tensions, smiles, hungry eyes... humanity, in one word (in French we call those school years from 12 to 18 "Humanities". What about it in english?)
Have a good 1st of September
oh how exciting to set up for classroom for another school year. i love those smart boards, I think they are pretty awesome. I hope you get a permanent one!
ReplyDeletethe beginning of the school year is always so exciting. Especially the new stationary ;) I love the green chairs.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you teach?
;) high school English, the bio says.
ReplyDeleteI like the green chairs too. :)
ReplyDeleteChange is coming for sure! I think you'll have to show us another shot when you have it done!
ReplyDeleteI know how much work it is to get a room ready. I'll be thinking of you. You are going to love the smart board. Some changes (while frustrating at times) are a lot of fun!
ReplyDeleteYes your room will definitely change. It will be filled with the voices of young ones. I like your classroom. xo
ReplyDeleteNice to have a classroom of your own during a year! Love the green in it!
ReplyDeleteHope all goes smoothly on your first week back at school.
ReplyDeleteGood luck for this new school year taht will bring so much changes to the kids you will be teaching to !!! Have a great time !
ReplyDeleteI love the contrast of the chalk boards and the Smart board juxtaposed there. No dry erase in between?
ReplyDeleteD
School has began around here week before last...I still love to browse the student supplies when I go to Walmart...and probably always will.
ReplyDeleteHappy (almost) new school year! May all of your students be bright and polite and their parents be involved.
ReplyDeleteFor teachers this is the time of the year for change! Happy new year!
ReplyDeleteSoon it will have all of your special touches Beth. It must be exciting to begin a new term. Praying it will all go well.
ReplyDeleteBless the work of your hands, Friend. I'm sure you are a blessing to many.
ReplyDeletethanks for the comment on that guest post i did on hcb Focus. i liked reading all the comments because they all had such different things and memories to share.
ReplyDeletethat machine on the wall...it looks space age!
the kids will think that they're in college.
cj starts on tuesday too. however they already gave them a day at camp, and thursday is a half day of getting to know the ropes and smooth out the freshman process wrinkles.
the stanza of a new school year! how i (almost) wish i was there, perhaps just for the day. breath in chalk and new books and chitchat, and laughter filling my head. like i told you before, i may be the rebellious one in the corner, but i sure can listen too...
ReplyDeleteoh, good luck with this new start, beth. have a pumpkin on the go... ;)))

I always enjoyed getting my classroom ready for a new school year and September still represents new beginnings, new projects and new challenges. Every blessing, Beth. I know you will be a blessing to others. (I like the green colours in the room and hope it helps as a calming influence on all those lively young people)!
ReplyDeleteLove the calming colors!!green chairs and chalkboard, soft blue walls...wonder if it keeps the students more quiet...
ReplyDeletefamiliar view.
ReplyDeletenext week here too. enjoy the peace and quiet while it lasts ;)
hope monday and tuesday went well... a lot of work for you to accomplish. do you have help?
ReplyDeleteI remember how much I enjoyed making my classroom an inviting place to learn! Hope your year gets off to a wonderful start. Your room looks so light, airy and organized!
ReplyDeletethis is one of the most pleasant classrooms I've ever seen. I like the colors - very pleasing to the eye. I wouldn't have a problem sitting there learning something new every day. wishing you all the best in the coming school year. and happy day to you Beth!
ReplyDeleteIt's fun discovering your classroom and the environment in which you work. It's a very nice place!
