One of the most exciting parts of getting ready for the new school year is getting new school supplies. These can be as simple as a new pack of pens (I have scary numbers of pens, but I love getting new ones) or as wonderful as a new teacher resource book.
Something that does make shopping for school difficult is the fact there wasn't a school store anywhere close to me. The closest one was about 45 minutes away.
Until recently, that is.
They opened up a brand new (albeit small) teacher store within 10 minutes of my house. There is almost no way to describe how excited I was when I saw the sign and figured out what it said for the first time.
I had to wait for them to open, then I had to wait for me to be able to get myself over there.
Today, I finally made it!
I walked in and was immediately met with bright colors and cheerful items designed to get children to read. Then I saw math manipulatives (the one reason I am sad I don't teach math... I love to play with the math stuff), and posters, and teacher stamps, and books, and borders, and and and!
I love pretty new things. It makes me eager to get into my classroom, set up the stuff, and meet the new children. A good thing, I think.
So, I bought 2 posters, a new lesson plan book, a pack of pre-cut letters (in a delightful stained glass pattern), and a handwriting book.
One of the posters that I bought was a very cute one I have been looking for, which says, "Save the drama for your llama" and the llama is saying "I don't want to hear it either" with a grouchy look. It's perfect for 6th grade drama.
Now I just have to get my classroom keys, haul all the stuff I brought home back to school (along with all the new stuff I bought), and wait for the kids.
I can't wait.
