So...today was our first day as teachers. Students come on Wednesday. I am a new teacher, in my first year as a Special Day Class teacher. I was unable to get into my room before today. But today I finally did, and I am totally overwhelmed. First, my key didn't work. I came to find out that it didn't work because the room numbers had been painted wrong on all the doors, and I was actually just in the wrong room. Then when I got into my room...there was NOTHING there. Nothing. No computers. No supplies. No closet or storage cabinet. No books. No curriculum. When I asked my principal about it, this person said that I just needed to to "get to know you" activities for the first couple weeks until they got all the stuff I might need. So I'm just venting a little here. I have kids coming in 2 days, and have nothing for them - no textbooks, no supplies.
It is especially hard because I am coming from a classroom last year that had everything in it, including several class copies of different books.
Anyone got any ideas for several weeks worth of stuff to do with no supplies?
