1. NOTES
FOR
PAOLA
5.19
General
Paola,
I
have
compiled
a
number
of
personal
resources
and
sample
documents
for
your
perusal.
While
you
are
very
fortunate
to
be
working
with
Mary
Welsh,
know
that
I’d
be
happy
to
weigh
in
at
any
time,
as
helpful.
UOI
Resource
Bins
In
your
new
classroom
you’ll
find
plastic
bins
containing
resources,
organized
by
unit.
I
expect
that
you
(plural)
will
want
to
inventory
them
prior
to
the
start
of
each
unit.
Files
In
this
digital
world,
the
vast
majority
of
resources
are
online
or
stored
in
the
cloud,
so
there
are
few
copies
of
things
in
the
filing
cabinets,
save
copies
of
resource
texts,
mostly
for
the
PYPRevolution
unit
re
the
American
Revolutionary
War
and
American
history
generally.
Furniture
Most/all
of
the
furniture
in
my
portable
is
old.
Frankly,
I
like
old,
rickety
stuff.
While
you
deserve
all
new
furniture
and
carpet
(and
a
new
portable),
it’s
up
to
the
budget
and
Sean
to
determine
when
and
how
it
will
happen.
I’ve
communicated
the
needs
to
him.
I
am
leaving
three
couches,
3-‐4
fold-‐up
tables,
and
a
couple
of
bookcases
for
your
use,
in
addition
to
4
large
rectangular
tables,
and
a
large
kidney-‐shaped
conference-‐style
table.
My
classroom
has
been
organized
around
5
tables/groups
(rather
than
individual
student
desks),
with
student
materials
stored
in
a
large,
heavy
built-‐in
cubby
unit
that
I
inherited
from
the
previous
occupant.
Here
are
a
few
photos
of
my
classroom
arrangement
FYI:
Note
the
large
wall
length
bookcase
by
the
windows,
which
has
been
used
for
storing
student
books.
For
years
I’ve
had
students
sitting
at
large
rectangular
tables,
5
tables,
5
students/table.
Note
the
two
couches
on
either
side
of
the
so-called
library
–
a
cushy
area
to
meet
and
read.
2.
Note
the
large
built-in
cubby
unit
beside
the
door.
The
wooden
unit
weighs
like
a
zillion
pounds
and
I
opted
not
to
try
to
move
it.
Note
the
line
of
folding
tables
along
the
rear
wall
of
the
classroom:
lots
of
surface
for
storage/display.
The
bins
beneath
the
folding
tables
are
the
storage
bins
organized
by
UOI.
Supplies
I’ve
left
a
big
bin
of
supplies
for
you,
everything
from
sidewalk
chalk,
to
extra
rulers,
calculators,
etc.,
etc.
The
school
has
a
nice
teacher
supply
area
in
the
office
with
most
thins
you’ll
need
want.
