Teachers know very well what it takes to prepare a classroom for the year; mostly it requires any self-respecting, dedicated teacher to work hours - off the clock and outside of the district's contract. As the custodians wax the entryway, workers examine the roof for leaks, secretaries set up things on the network, principals do whatever principals do, and teachers lug classroom furniture, climb ladders, and cut out cute little pictures for bulletin boards.
Additionally, I have literally set the stage for the school year. Our own classroom stage, sits in front of the SMART Board. Spotlights will bathe the stage when necessary.
One of the hardest parts of organizing the room, just like everywhere else in life, is putting things in places and remember where you put them. Teacher supplies collected for a period of over three decades can pile up, so finding places to put the piles can be a challenge. Only the most inventive of all public school teachers can attack such a task with panache and utilitarianism.
