First of all...I am so sorry for not posting lately...I have been quite busy but I have missed blogging and being able to share my thoughts on teaching and the road to my new career path. I will try to get better with my blogging! With that being said....
At the end of each day I come back in from dismissal and I see a classroom where there are crayons and pencils on the floor. Bits of paper litter the entire floor under the desks. Books are all out of their crates in the book nook. Needless to say, my classroom has that lived-in look. Everyday I worry about cleaning it back up to look perfect but last week it started to dawn on me.....it is ok that my classroom isn't perfectly in order. What is important is that they had a day where they learned and were engaged in the activities. I would like to think that my students leave my classroom with more knowledge than when they had entered. The crayons, pencils, and paper littered all over the floor is a sign that they were used and I need to be grateful for that. This next week at the close of each day I want to have a different take on the day when I come back in from dismissal and see my lived-in classroom. :)
