The unfortunate thing is that successful programs are often hard to duplicate unless you can clone the teachers too.<br /><br />When I was teaching I had to pack my room twice. Once it was for renovations, and the other time was to move to a new school. Make sure you label your boxes well. It makes it a little easier to locate once the school maintenance staff loses them over the summer. Also take anything valuable home.<br /><br />When we went through the renovation of our high school 20+ years ago, the construction crew stole anything not nailed down and a few items that were! The chemistry lab got hit hard.<br /><br />I've been a little down lately. We had a good state tournament for the organization I have work with for several decades. I have been on the state board of directors for 8 years. At the board meeting the day after the tournament it was brought up that my current 2 year term was up. <br /><br />When I was asked it I wanted to continue in my position, It became very clear that I was expected to decline. Another member quickly nominated a replacement. Caught flatfooted, I bowed out as gracefully as I could. Then I went home and bought a large Lego robotics kit to play with. <br />RVA_Grandpahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03733453333282446542noreply@blogger.com
