Today the whole family joined me in my classroom to help get ready for next week. They have changed our schedule for the 3rd time in three years. Last year I taught three music theory classes (6th, 7th, and 8th), had my planning/lunch, then taught three choirs (6th, 7th, 8th). I taught theory in one room and then chorus in my "primary" room.
This year, I will be teaching a theory class, then a choir, have a planning, teach a theory, then a choir, then a planning, and finally teach a theory class, then a choir.
Instead of running back and forth between both rooms, I am rearranging my room so that I can have both classes in the same room. I have flipped the risers around to face the small white board, and I will put desks behind the risers facing the bigger white boards for the theory classes. I am excited to teach with this setup. I am still not ready to go back next week, but I'm getting excited about the classroom setup.

Looks good so far and I bet that will be nice to have all your classes in one room! Which class do you like teaching better? Choir or theory? Are you following a predetermined plan set out by the school system or do you have to come up with your own plan? Just wondering?
Looks great, I like it! I'm sure it will be nice to stay in one room. Running between the Jr?Sr High and 2 elementary schools was such a pain for Michael - especially since of the elementaries tended to take his room out from under him when they needed it for a "special event." It's kind of weird that Michael is bringing HOME all his stuff instead of setting up his room now!! But he's happy.
