So now with my college classes behind me and my summer drama camp job checked off the list, it seems that my summer has come to an end. In fact I started my new job at my new school this past Monday morning. Let me say that I have been in a lot...and I mean A LOT...of private, Christian schools throughout my life...this one tops them all! This school is a TK-12th grade Christian Prep Academy. I can already tell that it is going to be a great year! I am teaching TK (Transitional Kindergarten) this year which is just a fancy term for what used to be called Pre-K.
My class is a new classroom as they added a second section of TK this year. To be in compliance with the NC accreditation standards my class needed a little people's bathroom so the entire room has been under construction for a month now and was just finished today...only 1 day late! :) So needless to say there is SO much to do...and if you have been a teacher before in a new school you can understand my stress of getting everything in place before orientation night and First Day! I was a little on edge today with all that needed to be done...so I took pictures of the room so I could go home and get my "creative juices" flowing!
Below are my "Before" pictures...I will be sure to take plenty of pictures when all is said and done!
I am so excited to have a bathroom in my classroom...a little potty for a big bathroom!
oh, so much to do! I'll be happy when everything is set in its place!
We are going to be very clean in class this year with a sink in the classroom and one in the bathroom! Lots of hand-washing will take place!

Getting ready for the beginning of the school year is always so stressful, tons to do. But it's fun too!! I can't wait to see the "after" pictures. It's hard to believe that it's time to start school again. It sounds like it's going to be a great year for you!!
James, I feel your pain. I had to move to a way different shaped and sized classroom this year (aka smaller and less functional) and my TA was on vacation... I thought it would look like trash when the kids got there, but suddenly it started to look like my style and now I actually love it. Please post "after" pics soon so I can copy some of your ideas!
it's going to be GREAT! Do you have an aide? I can't wait to see the after pictures of your room - it's going to be so much fun! And are you totally done with your classes now? Yippee!!
So I didn't resad this post just glanced at the pictures and thought to myself, "boy that looks familar." HA! To find out that you are teaching at my churches school; that is so funny. What a small world.
