Preschool Preface

So, today I went out to my new "home" at Tate to meet with my new colleague at the preschool. There's so much work to be done! We're starting from scratch, so everything has to be picked out and ordered...it's so overwhelming. I'm glad we're doing it together though, it makes it much more manageable. We spent the better part of the day today going through catalogs and referring to our lists of requirements...very specific requirements, I might add...down to table, chair and shelf height.
My class will be in one of the former kindergarten rooms that were added on to Tate a couple of years ago (last room on the right of the kindergarten/1st grade hall to be exact...just in case you want to come by sometime!) I'm sure the teacher (Mrs. Perry, I think) that's getting kicked out is so bummed because the room is pretty awesome. A huge storage closet, cabinets, counters, sink, water fountain, bathroom...all in-house! A perfect set up for little ones. And though the room is really great, I can't imagine how I'm going to have room for all the stuff "they" want you to have. I'll get it together eventually, I hope!
