Who Moved My Cheese?

I'm burning the midnight oil right now and just finished up with a few last things for the first day of school! It's going to be a whirlwind in just a few hours. I've been working a lot of hours lately - writing curriculum, attending meetings, discussing best practice, and organizing my room. My favorite part, of course, is organizing my classroom. This year I did a MAJOR overhaul and had the custodians move my HEAVY desk to the Northwest corner instead of the Southeast corner. Now I have a lovely view of the courtyard, a place to meet with students face-to-face, a window, and a whiteboard that has no obstructions. I think that it is going to work out really well. I'll find out tomorrow! Here are a few pictures of my new set up. There are still a few odds & ends I need to attend to but for now I'm loving it. Check out my fancy periodic poster in which a photograph of each of the elements (if possible) is shown! I love that the kids can see what the substances look like. Happy First Day of School!
