Go ahead, venture inside.

I don't know about you, but I'm eager to get in my classroom in order to start setting things up. Those teacher in-service days are going to fly by and, chances are, you will be in a time crunch to get your room set up. Until you feel good about the way your room looks, it will be difficult to pay attention to all the information they throw at you during in-services. So, why not contact your principal and see if you can get into your room early? Believe me, you won't regret it. Most principals will have no problem with this. It shows your principal that you are a hard worker and that you care about the way your classroom looks. Definitely something to consider. If you do go in early to work on your room, try to be as independent/self-sufficient as possible. What I mean by this is that you should avoid bothering your administrators with too many requests, especially in the beginning. Remember to be courteous and friendly towards all staff members (learn their names!) that you encounter, particularly towards the building engineer and maintenance staff. Stay tuned for more posts dealing with preparation for those important first days of school.
