When I got to Stern I was told that my new classroom would be available to teach in "at the end of August." By new classroom, they meant portable classroom, and by portable they meant 'trailer.' I find it odd that in California we called them portables whereas everybody else calls them trailers. In any case, I'm now known as 'trailer trash' around school since I'm out in the portable. Here is what my temporary classroom looked like:

I didn't like the room because the space was kind of awkward to use and the air conditioner was so loud that I sometimes had to yell when it was on. Here are some pictures from my new trailer:

Being out there isn't too bad of a deal. I can do whatever I want to the room and nobody will ever bug me. The first picture is of the door. I'm told that they're supposed to replace it, but we'll see about that. I kind of like the spraypaint, though. Next are pictures of desks and my reading center in the back. And, yes, that chair in the reading center is the one I had in my room in Brown. Last is the 'No Name' wall, where papers without names get put.

Lastly, here are some pictures from today's field trip to the blues festival.
