Important Note: The badge has to last three years unless you decide to pay for a new one. Now, I'm not a terribly photogenic human being, so I did primp a little more than usual for this trip to the administrative building so I would at least have that extra bit of makeup on my side. After all, I have to use this thing forever.
However, when we arrived at the offices, I learned that the Photo ID printing machines (...?) are down. Still. Last Monday when I signed my contract the Photo ID area was closed. I went back on Friday to try again, because this is the very last thing I need to do before I am totally official and I am anxious to get it done. The system was down, but "should be back up in a few hours." Today? Still down.
Don't get me wrong, if this is my only problem becoming an official City Schools employee, I'm all about it. I only live three miles from the office. I don't even need to take the highway. It's not that inconvenient. However, that stupid machine IS the very last barrier between me and being a full-fledged employee so I'm getting a little miffed about that.
Regardless, Mr. Peaches and I decided to head out to my new Middle School anyway, so we could check out my classroom, which has changed since I met with my boss (the principal, duh) last week. Instead of #108, my room is #210. And I love it.
Here is my new desk (though something tells me the current teacher will take her chair with her):
And here are my new students' desks (there will be thirty total desks in my room, but I'm still holding out hope that the classes will be smaller than that):
Here is the "front" of the room, which I am considering changing into the back:
I have four chalkboards, three bulletin boards, been twice promised an LED Projector for my songs and PowerPoint slides, and tons of space. I even have a class website.
It's going to be a fun year.
