I have three items that I really want from Lakeshore. I even created a wish list and sent an email about it to my dear, sweet hubby. In the hopes that he won't make me feel guilty about wanting to spend $120. I guess if he does make me feel guilty, I can always solicit the family for donations. I know they just all love and want to donate to my classroom. It seems that I want more for my classroom than I want for myself. Does anyone else feel this way? I mean I don't have desires for materialistic things for myself. I want things to make my life a little easier at work or to help my students.
I am very thankful that my husband has dealt with a messy garage full of my teaching files. I switched grades last year. I went from kindergarten to fourth grade. It is a major jump in grade levels, but I did it for several reasons. The change helped me gain new perspectives on my teaching for one. I will start in the fall as a second grade teacher. I am super excited about this change as I have realized I am a primary teacher. The fourth grades found it humorous when I would call recess, playtime. And if I really wanted to get their attention, I would sing a kindergarten song. I had half my class in kindergarten so it did make my transition easier. Oh yeah, there is nothing like see a line of fourth graders walking down the hallway "hips and lips" because the teacher thought they needed to work on being quieter in the hall. :)
OK, so I am moving to a new school and I will be teaching second grade. I am lucky because the students at my old school are going as well. Our school closed. I did get to pick out all the furniture I wanted before I left and I gained 4 boxes of library books. Now I need to purchase baskets to organize my classroom library. I think a lot of my basket were destroyed in the move. I have been seeing how other teachers are organizing their room and I am so impressed. I hope I can get it together and organized soon after I move into my house first.
