I am weird.
I know this.
Wanna know how I know this?
Because I really, really, REALLY like to shop in office supply stores.
For most of my employment life (which began when I was 13 or 14), I have been involved in some sort of office-type of work.
If you’ve ever done secretarial work, you will understand what I mean when I say that all pens are not created equal.
Nor are all highlighters, labels, or binders.
Or crayons, for that matter (my kids told me this when I tried to buy them a store brand).
So, you can see how this teaching thing that I am finally getting to do is the PERFECT justification for all of the shopping I’ve been doing at Office Depot…
Insert Tim the Toolman’s Happy Man Grunt
Because I am teaching five different grades during five different class periods, I thought the best way to keep myself organized would be to color coordinate everything.
Don’t you think the colors above fit into my room’s color scheme?
HGTV really should consider creating a show called “Design a Classroom.” I could be its host and make the big bucks.
heehee
Now, I am an anal, and by that I do not mean a royal pain in someone else’s backside, unless it’s my friend, Barbara’s, who I’ve been hounding the last few weeks for teacherly advice. Thank goodness I’m so lovable.
heehee
Because I like things just so, I created inserts for the covers and spines of my binders…
But, I took my organization up even one more level…
Oh yeah, baby. The spines are now labeled!
How pathetic am I?
But look at how pretty everything is on my shelf…
Folks, I think there’s a name for what I have…
Hyper-Organizational-Disorder
Webster’s should totally add that to its dictionary.
