School starts tomorrow. I’ve spent an outrageous amount of time getting my room just right. I completely revamped everything; moving my desk, creating a sitting area, making a special room for overstimulated students ala the Colvin Model, and have DIY’ed some light filtering curtains from sparkly shower liners and screw-in hooks. There are also a few plants (fake ones, as I always forget to take them home over vacation), and some new supply containers for holding pencils, erasers, and various other knickknacks. I also have an Incredible Hulk poster, and lots of pictures of Joe and I. The room is much more relaxing now.
Now I need to dig though my madness here at home and find cool things to bring in the make my classroom even more pleasant. I bought a boombox on which students can listen to music and talk radio. I’ll have to dig through the closet for neat things to complete the awesomeness that is my room. Pictures will be forthcoming.
