Well, I went in today to try and put a few things together in my room. I spent most of the day searching for desks (I have 14 and two of my classes have 30+ students...) Last year I made do with about 15 elementary-size desks (those with the storage space underneath.) It wasn't fun, or attractive (they were super old) but I made it. Well, the kids will be bigger this year, and I don't think its right to ask 7th graders to sit in old crappy elementary size desks. So I was told (by my principal) to search around and steal desks from the rooms of the new teachers. I tried, but there aren't many new desks available for procurement.
I now have 24 desks.
I also spent a lot of time today listening to one of the Assistant Principals bitch and moan about the other one. It was awkward.
Tomorrow is the first day that all the teachers will be required to be there. There will be a whole lot of sitting around listening to "THIS year..." lectures, while wishing I could be putting my room together. Yaaay!
