Day 1...and I feel like nothing was done

Hi all fellow blog readers...today I went into school for the first time since June. It was so sad to see how empty my room was. As soon as I walked into the room, I thought about the million things that needed to get done. My wonderful hubby was with me to help out. He is so good to me. He put all my name plates on the desks and hung up backing paper on two of my bulletin boards. I on the other hand...felt like I was useless. Of course I had to mingle and chit chat with all the teachers that I haven't seen over the summer. My hubby says that I never get anything accomplished the first day back because I feel the need to talk and talk and talk.

So here is what I actually did today...
1. Arranged desks in groups (5 groups of 6)
2. Placed the name plates where I wanted the kiddos to sit.
3. Laminated my new calendar and all about me set.
4. Cut out and hung up my all about me set...which looks great I might add :)
5. Put files away into my new cabinet.
6. Wrote out names on library pockets for my behavior board.
7. Put the books on the desks only to find out that I am missing 19 Religion books.

Gee...I guess I did get a lot of things done today.


So we stayed at school until about 3:30 and needless to say my classroom looks like a bomb hit it. Tomorrow I plan on getting the other bulletin boards together and start pulling things out of my closet. This is such a long and exhausting job...at times I just wish my name was Samantha Stevens and all I had to do is twinkle my nose and it would all be done for me :))))))

Until next time bloggers...

Lucky! You have a working laminator at your school! Ours hasn't worked in ages... I have to go to the Merit Center when I want something laminated. And you got WAY more done that I did today. I'm jealous.
