Being a teacher requires a lot of stuff

Here is the stack of books and paper and flotsam I acquired during my 4-week orientation.

Just for reference, that stack is over a foot high! Yikes.

And here are my new class sets of crayons, map pencils, markers, and glue stick. School can officially begin! Just kidding- I'm nowhere near ready.

All together, just for kicks. Thank goodness for an extra bedroom!
