Where I While Away the Hours at Work

Here's my classroom. The windows have paper over them because the kids from outside come by and bang on the glass as they go to lunch and create quite a ruckus. By the time I get outside to fuss, they've all scattered. Most of the classrooms don't have windows, so I'm actually very lucky! For the last 8 years I was in a room in a little building and it felt like home. Now I've been moved to "the big house" and am still trying to figure out the best way to set up the long narrow space. I did get new desks in this classroom and they all match!

We're in a 4 story building with about 1500-1700 kids. It's a pretty ugly building on the outside, squat and windowless. It looks like it is hunkering down, some huge, brown beast. It was built in the 70's during the race riots and is truly obselete, but there is no money to fix it up. Or tear it down.
