My new school is on
the reservation near my home town, so I have also been dealing with a bit of
culture shock as well. My kiddos are
great it is just very different than what I was expecting. Overall I think I am going to have a wonderful
year. My principal is so helpful as and
so are the Sped Director and the Teaching Coach (kind of like a mentor teacher
to the entire staff). Anyway I am
starting to get into a groove and should be (crosses fingers) in a routine with
home and school soon.
Two of my favorite
things this past week have been having supplies to do my science experiment and
have a real magnetic whiteboard. Yes I
know- weird. The school I came from used
shower board as a white board and I know some of you use it for personal white
boards and it works fine but the stuff we had did not work really well and for
science well, we never had anything at all.
If I wanted to do an experiment I had to submit a supply list. It was a real pain so I just never bothered
unless the supplies were already on hand or I just got it myself. Oh and
ok I LOVE my Smartboard! It is the first
thing turned on in the morning and the last thing turned off when I leave. I even get to go to a training on creating
engaging lessons. That should be a lot
of fun.
