A Work in Progress

Home again! This means seeing friends that I've been missing for a month and a half, going to my church again (I love my church!), walking the streets of beautiful Prague, and of course, unpacking and setting up my classroom.

In every other classroom I have had, I've come into a room that already was furnished and organized the way this previous teacher had left it. This year is different--since we are in the new building, my classroom is a blank slate. I get to choose the furniture (and there is A LOT to choose from) and I get to choose how to organize it, rather than trying to figure out the thought process of someone else.

It's not finished yet--it is a work in progress (actually, the whole school is a work in progress--but you try moving an entire school in a place where a majority of the work force leave the country for the summer!). However, here is a glimpse of my new classroom:

Day Three!

Day three: Classroom library

 As you can see it is starting to come together--though I have to say, the best looking room in the whole building is the library--that looks AMAZING!  Stay tuned for more pictures of our new building becoming a CISP.
