Hi! I am linking up with
Julie at A First For Everything to join in on her HIGH and LOW linky party! I can honestly say that I have had a lot of lows this week but it has finally turned around. I moved to kindergarten this year and am really excited about it. We have 5 schools that had a lot of construction going on (adding 4 K classrooms to each building). This is so exciting. Our rooms are big and have LOTS of storage. The person who ordered the materials/furniture for our rooms did a great job and thought out every last detail.
Here goes...
I will start with my low. The construction on our building got behind. Normally, I would be in my room weeks before setting it up. BUT...this year I couldn't do that. I finally could get somewhat into my room on Tuesday evening...keeping in mind that there was a construction crew working and we had to work around them. On Tuesday we got shelves put into the cabinets. We still didn't have our storage room baseboards done or the fabric on the walls. This is what our halls and rooms looked like hours before our open house. I pretty much held myself together until this day. I broke down and cried. I wanted everything perfect.
Things amazingly came together. EVERYTHING from the halls was gone before parents got there. This is what my room looked like for Open House. The kids were not allowed to go into the back of the room. We just had windows put in that afternoon.
Things went well. I loved meeting my new babies. I can't wait for an exciting year.
My up for the week is that we are finally in our rooms. I am VERY fortunate to have wonderful friends and coworkers that have been so helpful and understanding. Our principal and custodians have been so helpful too. They have all been offering their help to us all week. Yesterday I had a friend help organize cabinets, label folders and do bulletin boards while I unpacked boxes. She kept me sane. My room is coming along. We still have to wait for the walls to be done. I am excited for kindergarten on Tuesday and can't wait to spend the year with my new babies.
I still have lots to do...but it is getting there and we're going to have a GREAT year!
