#ReflectiveTeacher Day 8: Desk Drawers

HA! Well, this post is a bit of a challenge for me, if only because I don't have a desk, so no drawers to talk about. I ditched my big old teacher's desk before the start of last school, and don't miss it one bit.

I do have a small table in the corner and a bookshelf. I guess I can think about what I keep on my bookshelf, and what that says about me. I have a box of "emergency supplies" for students - think band-aids and tampons. Being an adolescent/young adult is a stressful time, and we unfortunately do not have a school nurse. I have mastered the art of the stealth tampon or pad hand off, and even recently got a cute little pouch that looks like a purse girls can use when needed.

There are my stuffed fossils - Fred the trilobite and George the eurypterid (this is George, with his fossilized counterpart).

A jar of individually wrapped chocolates I like to hand out to the rest of the science department now and then, when I think we all need a little pick me up chocolate love. Mmmmmm... chocolate. :)
