LOL. I feel your pain about the lack of space and ugly walls. Our four portables in my program went through Hurricane Charlie. Our original four portables were totaly destroyed by Charlie and our county, in its infinite wisdom, saw fit to gift us with four that were...well...in need of "small" (yeah right) repairs. There is a lot to be said about having a portable. You have complete control of heat and air. You also can do crazy things in your room and even be a little loud without disturbing another classroom. My principal walked in once when I was standing on my desk, trying to show the students the "leap of faith" someone in a story we were reading was going to make. He does not question me, he just figures I am not playing with a full deck. lol I wish they would let me paint the classrooms. We are not allowed. I would love to paint a mural on one wall that made the room relaxing for the students. Ahhh...let me correct that...I don't draw anything more than stick figures...so I would have to hire someone to do that lol When you and your new BTFF are done...I know where you can paint a mural. :) Ok, so I have never taught in a real classroom, you call them modular classrooms, we call them “portables”.
