Our Schoolroom Disaster

My school day yesterday was such a disaster that I couldn't even face blogging !! Like Angie I started full of enthusiasm for a new year of distance education.  Miss M & Master T are in Grade 3 this year.  Unfortunately they were not so impressed to be back in the schoolroom after such a lengthy holiday.  Our day was a nightmare - we started at 8am and worked till 2.30pm and still didn't finish 1 day of work.  Today is going remotely better. Yesterday I was even thinking that driving the 1200 kms + a week to go into a mainstream school maybe worth considering ?  Here's hoping that the rest of our year isn't so stressful. NOTE- Looks can be deceiving, of course they look like they are doing their handwriting in the photos above but in reality they are whining about having to learn ANOTHER way to write - cursive !! YUCK !!

I do like having an organised schoolroom full of colour with everything in it's place. Even if the munchkins don't appreciate it, I like the look of it...LOL !!  Here are 3 new additions to our schoolroom this year.

Exercise Book Covers that are removeable and can be used over and over again - what a great idea, love them !! Nextra Newsagents - Made by Spencil.

Chalkboard Stickers - adhere (and remove) from walls, cupboards etc.  These have proven to be very useful !! Crazy Clarks' - yes these were a BARGAIN BUY !!

Here are our desks all ready to go - the blue papers are our school papers which we return to the school for the teacher to mark and comment on.  I got these great chair bags at Spotlight for under $10 for the kids to keep all their 'special' things in and leave their desk drawers for their actual work !!

Best get back to it, please think of Angie and I as you deliver your children to their closest school and have a day of leisure sipping coffee/wine (that's what you do isn't it ??)
