Thanks to my co-worker friends, the color purple has officially been changed to Karrie Purple!!!

Students start school tomorrow. I am somewhat ready. Tonight I spent an hour in the art room sorting thru art posters. It was a mess and I don't want to deal with it this year. It should be much easier to find what we are looking for.
There is still a lot to put away. Someone finally came in and put the bookshelves and tables back in order. Now it is just putting stuff back in storage that was taken out (by someone else!!!). I asked that my room not be painted yet it was painted anyway. They also were putting in some wiring for something so everything got moved around.
I was looking forward to teaching 10 year olds this year. They are a good bunch of kids for the most part. I only get one group of 10 year olds and one group of nine year olds. It would have been less work to teach the same ages again. I will teaching 6, 7 and one group of 8 year olds instead. So I need to write new lesson plans. I was looking forward to just tweaking what I already had.
