Term One nears...

Three weeks until the first students arrive. Two-and-a-half until cluster schools' conference and teacher only day.

Likely to pop in and out this week to sort out room setup now that cleaners should have been through. Then onto actual programme planning the following week.

Clean out and set up

It never ceases to amaze me at how long it takes to clean out, sort out, and throw out bits and pieces when setting up my classroom - especially when moving into a new physical room. Not only that, but when changing levels, I now have more things to consider.

I'm not much of a hoarder but do like to get things in order before getting onto actual planning for the year's beginning.

Next step - arranging furniture.
