My last summer as a teacher.

This is my last summer as a contracted teacher.  By next summer I'll be retired.  I'm very ready.

I likely won't blog after this year.  I'd like to blog about my last year.  I have a bunch of projects to share and have been busy organizing my many pictures.  I'm not even sure anyone is reading this but blogging is for me anyway.  It's a way to express my thoughts and reflect on my teaching.  That anyone would care to visit here is amazing to me.

I've been in the same room for 12 years.  I've taught art for 17, five of which were on a cart.  Two actually.  This year I'm moving.

My old room was small but big enough for six tables.  I managed pretty well most of the time.  I did get cluttered a lot.  My new room is about 1/3 size bigger and I go from one sink to 4.  It will be worth all the effort of moving once I'm done.

Bye bye old room

Hello new.

Lots of stuff to unpack in August.  Then more pictures.
