Empty Classroom Syndrome

Every classroom I have every left I always leave saying outloud “I love this place.”  Because all I can see when I look around is the students that I have loved in that room.  All the real change that has happened over the year(s) there….

So is it any surprise that when I saw my classroom for the first time I was shocked that I didn’t love it yet?  After all, I haven’t taught any children in there, I haven’t fallen in love with my subject yet.  Whiel I am sure there will be success, I can’t believe how clinical and empty and dead it looks in there right now.
