School started for teachers last week. This week has been retreats and setting up our rooms! If you know me, I dont spend money on much. I spent the most money my first year teaching, then stopped the madness the next year, so setting up my room with nothing has been pretty easy. Definitely different than IVE EVER had to do in the States, though. This is my birthday board. The black sheet background was ripped that I found in the storage room. I took it home and washed it. Lydia, my aide, and I cut it up because it was a mess. My friend Jessica gave me the yellow border and I printed the rest on my computer. Thanks, RidgePoint Church, for the printer! Julie Duncan gave me the little index cards for the names and birthdates before I left!
I hand wrote the banner I Believe In You! The yellow stars I found in some bag in the hallway. Some of my girls, Mallory and Fenley, laminated the ladybugs for me and sent them with the missions team. I printed out the Love God, Love Others, and Be a Good Steward on the computer. It is our school theme. That is the fan from my house because someone stole my fan last year :( I carry this to school daily and bring it back home when I am done. My chalkboard is HORRIBLE. As you can tell, chalk barely writes on it!
God told me that I wasnt teaching for long and to not bring materials to the DR, so here I am with no calendar or anything for that matter. I keep asking Him and He continues to say NO to having it all shipped. My intern/new roomate will be here tomorrow, she got me a pocketchart from Target for a dollar and we are making numbers from scratch. These are things found in storage or printed on computer.
Lydia taught me that instead of laminating, you can cover the entire paper with TAPE! Freaking awesome!!! Thanks, Jessica, for the shipping tape! All of these will hold up nicely because they are fully covered! I found the bugs in a bag in the hallway, too!
More to do, but this is it for now.
looks good Ms. Brady!!! glad i could help at least a little :)
