Last week Mark went with me to my classroom to help rearrange the furniture. Overall, my room was functional and looked good, but there were a couple of things that I just felt needed to be changed. So, I wheedled and begged until finally I got a little muscle to help me out. We got most of the larger shelves into spots where I liked them by the time Mark was fed up, so I was happy with our effort.
Yesterday I went back alone to do a little more tweaking...... and ended up moving some very large shelves alone. It wasn't too bad... mostly I kept worrying about scraping the newly waxed floor (and there are a few scrapes which I took the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser to without much result). At one point when I was holding up one end of a 6 foot long shelf and turning it around while the other end rested safely on the carpet, my back made a weird cracking noise I have never experienced before. It didn't hurt, but just made an odd sound. I was somewhat apprehensive that I might wake up this morning and not be able to move! Obviously, that was not the case and I am as spry and healthy as ever!
With the "Back to Work" mode in full swing, last night I kicked Mason out of my scrapbook room and created 3 "Center" signs. You know, labels for different areas of the room...Block Area... Library.... Math Manipulatives...etc. They are hand cut pieces with a couple of stickers or punches used. Not a style I use in my scrapbooking, but somewhat Kindergarten friendly. In the above sample I am thinking of adding arms to the poor little red head boy and maybe have him holding a magnifying glass up to his eye. All three of the ones I made feel somewhat incomplete to me, but it just felt good to get out my scissors and gluesticks and paper scraps and make a mess!
Here's to another day of work!! Hope yours is great! Love, Nancy
