Since I'm new to the school, they had to create a classroom for me. What they did was clear out the junk room, which was once a rather sizable room. They painted. They ripped up the carpet. They waxed the hardwood floor. It looks pretty good new... old-fashioned but good. The room was devoid of any storage or furniture aside from the standard desks, chairs, and file cabinets. Today, I walked in and found bookshelves in my room, so I could finally start unpacking. It's a long process moving 17 years of my career into another classroom in another state, but it'll get done. I'm not sure when, but it'll get done.

Since I'm going into a new school, there are all sorts of new things to learn: curriculum, programs, ways of doing things. With that said, have you ever used Thinking Maps as a writing method? I went to a short seminar on it earlier in the summer and forgot most of what I learned. I just cracked open the teacher binder. Give me your thoughts and ideas. Thanks for the tips!
