I actually really like setting up classrooms! The organizing isn't as fun, but the layouts and putting furniture into place is right up my ally.

I couldn't get everything ready in just one day. It takes many, many hours. But I think elementary has more to set up than most grade levels.

I teach science so I have a lot of equipment. I don't really like to change things around once I'm settled. This is the 3rd time I've had to move classrooms, I hope it is the last.

I've only moved once, and it was during the covid year. So my first year in this room, I had to have desks 6 feet apart. I didn't really get to set it up. So I've had two years of the same setup, and I was ready to switch things up. I think my new layout will offer better traffic flow in certain areas, especially by the Chromebook station.

Plus, I'm going from the largest class sizes in the school to the smallest, so that affects things, too. At this point I only have 12 on my class list. The rest of my team has 13. If 12 holds, which it probably won't, I'm probably going to have the smallest class in the entire school.

So, why do they keep asking you to change classrooms?! :cautious: That's a lot of work that you don't need.

The first move was because a teacher was located in a garage type building that was connected to our greenhouse. That building was expensive to heat and it wasn’t coded properly for a lot of things. Since he was high school biology my room was the best fit for him. So they moved me (and some other middle school teachers) to the wing used by our 6th grade and the 6th grade moved to our elementary school.

Now it was determined that the 6th grade should come back to our building. So our administration came up with the stupidest plan for bringing them back and moved many more teachers to accommodate this move than needed. When I was packing up my classroom and some students were helping me they thought the moving made no sense. They came back with a better plan in two minutes than our administration did in one year. Because they finally shared the moving plan the last week of school because I finally demanded an answer. The teacher whose room I moved into was told about the move by me when I asked her if she needed extra boxes. It was really messed up.

Speaking of setting up classrooms, I get a lot of that over the next few weeks.

Tonight I'm helping my mom in her classroom set up some storage carts.

Tomorrow I'm back in helping my next door teacher friend again. I'll have her help me with a bulletin board, too. It's one I've been wanting to change the past couple years, but has never been at the top of my priority list. So it's always gotten cut off the always lengthy back-to-school to-do list.

Then Thursday I might have to go back up to my mom's room to help her move a bunch of stuff from a storage room she's losing into the storage carts we're building tonight.

I'll take a couple days off from classroom setups next week. I have no plans Monday after summer school. I'll probably just come home and work on some trainings. Then Tuesday I'm meeting up with a student from last year and spending the afternoon with him.

Next week on Wednesday I'll spend a little time after summer school working in my room. Summer school gets out around 11:15, and I have a meeting with our superintendent at 12:30. No, I'm not in trouble. Our salaries have been screwed up the past couple years, so they're correcting them. He's meeting individually with everyone who was affected, so it will actually be a positive for me. But I'll have about an hour to work in my room.

Then next Thursday is our last day of summer school, so I'll be able to start pulling everything out and setting up for the real school year. I don't like to do much more than get furniture in place before summer school ends, since the summer school kids will just mess with it. I was supposed to have a haircut that afternoon, but I rescheduled it to this Thursday instead, so I can stay later next week.

Then the week after that, I'll probably end up in my classroom at least a couple days. That's my last full week off. Technically I have another week after that, but I have three days taken up with trainings and meetings already. So I'm just considering that "back to work". I don't officially start back until August 22-24th.

I didn't intend to give you my life plans for the next month, but it honestly helped me straighten everything out. 🤣

Also, there are people who have been working in our district for 20 years who are getting paid like they have less than 10 years experience. They're just correcting that, but not giving any retroactive pay. So it's actually still not fair in the long run.

Sat.'s flight is coming up. IF weather does not alter the schedule...flying out of Philly Sat. at 4:15pm.
Not due to return until the evening of August 9th.
This is the 2nd longest I've been out of the country in my life.
In 1996 I went to Ireland for 14 days.
My wife and I only want to bring one checked bag each and one carry on bag.
Keeping this in mind....Packing for Denmark and Norway is gonna take some serious thought.

My niece is home from school on the east coast.
We’ve got three weeks to squeeze in the three movies she wants to see. By my very rudimentary math skills, that’s one per week.

Haunted Mansion is likely next weekend for me. That'll be four movies for me since the beginning of July. That's an incredible pace. My previous four movies would span multiple years.
