And So It Begins...

Day one and we're off and running! How exciting! We moved boxes and file cabinets and put desks and tables together. We actually spent the day in the new building! The rooms are amazing. They are so big and have so much built in storage in them. They truly are incredible.

There are some changes that will be weird. Right now I don't think we'll be able to put anything on the walls! My classroom is usually covered with posters and student work. And since we share our classrooms with the college, our rooms aren't really our rooms. We have our teacher desks in the workroom, which could prove to be really good. It'll just be weird for a while.

Like anything, it will take some getting used to. It's just amazing to see how not only our staff but also so many other people worked so hard to get things ready. I know next week will be long and taxing, but it will be so worth it! Little by little the pieces fall into place and things come together.

I get to work with an amazing group of colleagues, and for that, I am eternally grateful! You should have seen us tear through the science labs and put together tables in no time. Today I actually saw exactly what John Heywood meant when he said, "Many Hands Make Light Work." Whenever something needed done, everyone just jumped in and took care of it.

I can't wait for next week when I'll actually be moving in my classroom stuff! Time to Rock -N- Roll!
