T's room was now transformed. She'd removed every last poster with words on it, because the children would be distracted by all the words. The books were hidden away, and the shelves cleared.
She bought out the laminating machine and proceeded to make labels with T's room on them all, so nobody would ever mistake the room for a former library.
Then she took the prison chairs away and got in bigger chairs (also with her name on it) because she could never fit on the smaller chairs. T dumped last years library members book and took down all the handwritten signs the children had made that were full of spelling mistakes, and their name tags. -Name tags! S should have just remembered everyones names. No teacher would make their children wear humiliating name tags - that was cheating.
Everything was going to be printed on the computer and laminated like a proper professional classroom. She had her teachers outfit all ready - black jacket, monogrammed, and black shoes, and black trousers. She wheeled in her trolley that was going to hold not books but her important Teachers items. Tim Tams, Tote Trays and Tiny Teddies.
Then she wheeled in the white board and called a Teacher's hui. She drew a graph on the whiteboard and labeled each axis x and y. She drew an arrow diagonally across the board. The teachers all piled in to the former library now T's room and watched T warily. They had their own classrooms to organise, and hui time was eating into those precious minutes. Would this take long?
We are now aiming to teach to the North East. Said T.
There were a few groans, and rolled eyes, but yes that was what the Teachers Resources all said. One new teacher put up her hand. Uh, where exactly is the North East? I just came from Hobsonville, and I thought this area was the North West.
