Today was the first day that I was able to
bribe my way
get into school. I hate my district's policy of not letting teachers
in to their classrooms until five days before school begins! School
officially begins for teachers on August 27th, but kindergarten
orientation is on the 24th (Next Friday?? How can that be??) The
custodians took pity on me when I explained that I just wanted to "drop
some things off". After spending about two and half hours there, I feel
like I am over that initial back-to-school shock. My furniture is set
up (I hope!), my rugs are in place, and I have the paper/borders on my
bulletin boards. I did finally unload my car, but forgot the
screwdriver I needed for my new storage shelves (bummer - but there is
always tomorrow). Tonight is a night of work. I have labels, crayon
cans, and Apple Bags to make; my September files need to be organized
into my new "
binder system"; and I would also love to get the next chapter of Debbie Diller's Math Work Stations read.
Ugh - and so it begins!

Welcome to the blog world Deb!! Sounds like you have a lot of wisdom to share with all your awesome experience!! I love the "bribe" comment. Why does it feel like we do that every year. Isn't it a strange thing that there is a job where people are begging to get in building?? I mean what does that say about how dedicated teachers are??? I'm your newest follower. Good luck on your orientation.
