At the end of the school year I found out that my principal was making some changes in the building. I had a beautiful classroom inside the building, and was going to move to a portable classroom (double wide trailer cut in half). I was sad, upset, nervous, etc. I don't like change. I loved how I set my room up and it was finally the way I wanted it. So, I boxed up all of my things and left wondering what it would be like to teach in a trailer. I had always had a classroom inside the building. All summer, I was thinking of ideas to maximize space since the classroom I was going into was a good bit smaller. Thank goodness for Pinterest!
Last Monday, I dropped Georgia off for her first day of daycare. I cried like a baby, but that's another blog writing session all together. :) And Lily and I set off to Copper Ridge to get started. I set out unpacking boxes, sorting through things, and making piles. I arranged desks, tables, and computers. It was starting to look like my room again. Finally on Friday, Lily and I dropped Georgia off at daycare again, which by the way she had an awesome week, and rearranged the tables, desks, and computers one more time.

My room is smaller, so I had to get rid of my teacher desk. I never sat at mine so I figured it would be good just to get rid of it. I am using my small group table as a 'desk'. I organized my desk supplies into a shoe organizer and I love the change. I love the blue walls in my classroom and the fact that there is a bathroom in the trailer is the best thing ever. I decided to change my classroom theme too. New room, new theme. I had a bumblebee theme before, and now am changing to a dog theme. I think it will look great and the kids will enjoy it. Although I did enjoy calling myself the Queen Bee at times! As I closed the door on Friday, I realized that change isn't always so bad...if you have a positive attitude and try to make the best out of your situation.
