So yesterday I was given enough stuff to fill any classroom I will ever step foot in. My mother in law is not going to be teaching anymore and we went to her classroom yesterday and cleaned out, I have three shelves full of resource books, centers for the rest of my career, manipulatives, pocket charts in 5 sizes, posters….gosh and so much more stuff that I have not been able to get out of the classroom yet. I am going to be able to spend my money on all the fun stuff, which to me are the books and the decorations! It is such a blessing really, when I look at all I have been given, I start to realize how much I would have had to spend on all those supplies and things. Goodness, it would not have been cheap! I can’t wait to get the rest, even though I will not be in a classroom until Fall of 2010, it is still nice to know I have everything and won’t have to stress! :)
