Access Granted

I FINALLY got to stand in the middle of my new room and look around today. 

(Thank you field day for emptying the entire school at 11:30 so I could sneak in and take pics!)

There's some good news...

I actually have some tall storage cabinets.


But, I can already see that once I bring in my big rug, I am going to be really short on space for tables. I plan to center the rug along the wall with the whiteboard where these tables currently are. 



As you can see from this next photo, there isn't a whole lot of space on the other side of the tables. 

At least there's a nature view to the left...







At least since the whiteboard is small, there is wall space on both sides that I could post visuals on. 

I cannot wait to get in here and move furniture around. 

I think I will forego my teacher desk and just use whatever type of table I bring in for my older students. I also might forego the big set of drawers that is on wheels as I don't have too much stuff stored in my current one. 

Also, my teammate had a genius idea and suggested I look into getting a clothesline to hang from wall to wall in front of that partition so that I can at least clip students' work, visuals, or posters to the line. Hopefully the custodian will be on board with that! 

I am so excited to get started on making this new space my own!

I love the big windows for natural light. I call my room "the basement" because my windows are level with the ground, and the ground slopes up from there, so when winter comes and there is a lot of snow, we don't get much light at all. I know your windows take away from wall space though. I'm sure you'll have it functional and looking great in no time!
