First-year teacher makes the most of new classroom

GRAND ISLAND —
"Wow, this room is big, bright and empty."
That was Dave White's first thought when he walked into his kindergarten classroom in the Shoemaker Elementary Annex.
Principal Toni Palmer said White's room was a kindergarten room two
years ago, when Shoemaker needed three kindergarten classrooms.
Last year, the kindergarten enrollment was smaller, so White's area was
used as a music room, Palmer said. This year, the kindergarten
enrollment was up again, so the music room was moved to a different
area.
That left White's classroom bereft of classroom furniture and even bulletin boards.
"I walked in and the classroom was brown and white," said White, referring to the carpet and walls, respectively.
