Kicking off the Second Summer of the Sole Sisters: Day 1 Friday, June 25, 2010

Just as I treated our first day back to school in September as just another day of vacation, (being it was pre-Labor Day)...I decided that I would begin my summer on Friday, June 25, despite the fact that it was a work day. I had no work to do, seeing as everything I use was packed in boxes. My computer was gone and it was evident that I was in everyone's way when I tried to just physically be IN my classroom. The destruction had begun well before my arrival with the ripping out of the heating system. So I spent my day wandering about the building going from the computer lab, to the gym, to the teachers' room, my car, the music room and eventually finished the day in Cheryl's cave of a 3rd grade classroom. I did catch a few minutes alone to capture this photo of the day. Once I uploaded it, I noticed that my new classroom window appears out the window of my old room. Such a perfect sign that my new environment will reflect what I built and everything that built me as a teacher in that first art room that I called home for 14 years. Time to end one era and begin a new one. I am ready. ~Susan
