Welcome to my 2020-2021 classroom! This year I am teaching high school art and English right down the hall from our son Joseph's science classroom. But my room looks a little different from his. I don't have any dead animals in my room. Yet. Just sayin'.
My daughter Mary helped me with most of it. She also made me take home an entire truckload of stuff I wanted to put in my room and had taken there. She said that if I kept it all in there, it would look junky. She was probably right.
Jeff built the bookshelves for me from completely recycled materials I hoard in my basement. The wooden compass was made by our former student who is now a teacher at Lott Mennonite School, Tim Fisher. He used it in his classroom last year and asked me if it would fit my theme for this year. Absolutely!
I got the column for free, too. It never hurts to ask. And this was our view as Joseph and I drove to school this lovely fall morning. It's nice to be back in school.
