So... I'm sure you all thought, "Huh. August started... Where's Dawn??"
Or, maybe, you didn't give two shin diggities about where I've been.
Either way, I got straight back into my classroom August 1st.
After the year that I had last year, I can honestly say, getting back to work hasn't exactly made me jump for joy.
But, I had no choice.
My brother is getting married ...and I only had last week to get things sorted out, and put back together so I would feel (at least) semi-excited a new school year was starting.
I did all my normal stuff:
-re-arrange desks
-put down name tags
-make open house packets
But I just couldn't shake off the feeling of the badness that occurred in my room last year.
So... despite the fact that I didn't have time... I redid all of my bulletin boards. I made new labels for my book boxes.... I gave my room a face lift it so desperately needed!!
I sighed as I walked out... cause I know I have a good group of kiddos coming my way... and now I actually feel ready for them to join me.
(Come back and see me tomorrow... I'll show you what else I have been up to. ;)

Hi Dawn,
ReplyDeleteDon't you find this kind of 'spring cleaning' therapeutic? Whenever I've gone through something emotional or difficult I always find going through things and throwing them away or just rearranging things give me a much more positive outlook. Its spiritually cleansing I find.
Hope you're good x
I am excited to get back into my classroom! I have to wait until next Wednesday. Congrats on the makeover! how about a pic for inspiration?
ReplyDeleteNatasha, I am good!! :)
ReplyDeleteBarb, I forgot to take one before I left... but will DEF do so when I return and post it for all to see :)
