Summer will soon be over for me, as I always like to start back early to set up my classroom…
Starting back earlier than the required time, gives me the much needed time to plan, organize, and utilize my creativity hoping to make it a “great year”…
I have found through my many years of experience;
Setting up a well organized classroom is fundamentally crucial to the success of the beginning of a new school year…
Supplies are essential, and I do hope my new students will be able to contribute…However, because our school has such a diverse population, I do realize, and understand many will not be able to help…We teachers do receive a small budget, so in order to provide for our children, we do have to pay for much of our supplies out of our own pocket…
I can always hope after the many years of teaching, we would have the necessary funding and support for our precious children and our public education system…
I do love utilizing my creativity in decorating the classroom…I do believe a classroom, especially with young children, should be warm and inviting…one that will inspire
learning…
My hope is to have such a classroom, even with all the rigors and demands…My children will want to learn, and want to return each and every day!
