Well every August is busy for teachers going back to school, but this year is even busier. As you probably already know, our school is being remodeled. I went to school last Monday and they told me that they would have my furniture and boxes in my room by Tuesday. So early Tuesday morning, I went to face this enormous job. I walked into my room piled high with boxes and the furniture everywhere. I had to move all the boxes because they were piled where the furniture had to go. I finally got the furniture in place and that much took up most of my day. I unpacked a few boxes but not many.
Just having the furniture kind of where it needed to go helped a lot.
I ended up moving the furniture (at least some of it) about 3 or 4 times.
Then on Wednesday, I started unpacking boxes. I unpacked about 50 boxes on Wednesday and put the things away where they should go. Since I have a completely different room, I had to think where to put things because there was no prior place so I had to make a place for everything.
It seems so nice to have a clean, fresh room and brand new clean carpet. We have some cool new technology items in our rooms now. Now all I have to do is learn how to run it all.
Wednesday, I also got my bulletin boards put up.
I got my computers back into my room but they're not hooked up yet.
I have lots of books so my principal promised me lots of bookcases. I got 8 brand new ones. It took me a while to go through and organize the books and put them in a logical place.
Thursday, I spent all day there as well putting 50 more boxes of stuff away. Now I have all the boxes opened and most put away.
Some things I'm getting rid of so I'm just holding the boxes in my room until I can get rid of them and I'm storing some stuff in our grade level closet.
I feel so much more organized and unburdened now that I'm almost all unpacked and put away. It's a great feeling! Now next week will be finishing the room and planning and getting ready for the children. August 29th, here they come.
