Just finished Day 3 of New Teacher Induction training. I really enjoy these trainings. Yes I could use this time to be working in my class but it's always nice to have a refresher course. Maybe I'm just a nerd. :-)
Chile, by the way, was awesome! Michael was an Angel on the flights and with the extended family. Interesting fact about how they do school down there: there are so many kids in the towns that they have grades that go 7am-2pm and then a different group will go from 3pm-7pm. So your classroom is shared with another teacher. And average class size is 40.
I'm working on several things in my class. I decided this year I'm going to write my objectives on a white board. So my dear, sweet hubby went in tonight to put up a bulletin board and a dry erase board. Yay for hubbies! Open house is on Thursday so I'm hoping to get everything done by then. I also need to get my presentation done by then. Plus make copies. And of course when I need it, I can't find my label maker. To make matters a little worse, I don't have my laptop working. I don't have a charger until my Amazon shipment gets here. Should be Thursday or Friday.
I'm really excited about working at my new school, however, there was one thing I was nervous about that did happen. You get spoiled with technology quickly. I had a lot of technology at my old school. Now I have different technology that I'm not familiar with. It makes me wish I had the time to get to know it. I also wish I had a document camera. Ok my vent is over.
I am going to try to keep blogging throughout the year and try not to vent too often!
Thanks for reading! Tomorrow I'm going to upload some classroom pictures on instagram. Stay tuned!
