Well folks, this is the place in which I am going to be spending many, many, many, many, many hours. I'll show pictures of the lobby and hallways later. The reason I want to show you them is because I have not seen another school with structure like this one. Maybe some of you have and you can share some experiences...but that is for another time. :)
So far everyone has been really nice and helpful. The principal's wife is the pre-k/kinder teacher and her classroom is right next to mine. She is really the only person I talk to right now although yesterday I visited another teacher who lives next to me. She was feeling sick so I thought I would ask if there was anything she needed and we ended up talking for awhile which was very nice. I had never been in her apartment before so I was shocked when I saw that it is probably more than 3 times bigger than mine, and she is living alone as well! I am actually glad that I don't have that big place because that means more cleaning :)
Today one of the staff members, Jesse sent a high school student to my classroom to help me set up. Then after that person left Jesse told me he had someone else lined up for tomorrow to come and help!! I am truly thankful becuase I have a lot to do! I know that God is looking out for me and He is putting people in my way to help with those "little things".

Something I read this week in AH.
The Little Attentions Count.--God tests and proves us by the common occurrences of life. It is the little things which reveal the chapters of the heart. It is the little attentions, the numerous small incidents and simple courtesies of life, that make up the sum of life's happiness; and it is the neglect of kindly, encouraging, affectionate words, and the little courtesies of life, which helps compose the sum of life's wretchedness. It will be found at last that the denial of self for the good and happiness
of those around us constitutes a large share of the life record in heaven. And the fact will also be revealed that the care of self, irrespective of the good and happiness of others, is not beneath the notice of our heavenly Father. {AH 108}
That is a great quote...thanks for sharing it. It most certainly is those little things that count in our lives. It gives me more encouragement to do those "little" things in other peoples lives as well.
Sorry your ceilings are so high...that makes it difficult to hang things from them. At any rate, your school is very pretty! I hope that you post some pics of your classroom soon. :o)
