Labeling my books

Today I spent the afternoon labeling the books I have been given with my last name: "Ammerman." I wrote my last name about 150 times. I got a lot of books. It was an interesting ritual. There was something really satisfying going through all of my books, preparing them for my 7th graders for next year. I made the comment to my roommate that it felt a little like nesting might. When you are getting ready for something new.

Tomorrow morning I am driving out to my new school and will check out my room! I am so excited and can already picture the bookshelves filled up with my new/used books...the tapestry wall-hangings, the Chinese lanterns I plan on looping through the ceiling brackets...the director's chair I plan on having up front for my future readers and poets!
