First day back

Today was the first day back with students.  All went smooth.  We had a few minor emotional times with some crying, but nothing major.  Everyone listened well, sat well for deskwork and group times and lined up with minimal prompting.  As a teaching team we are working hard at bringing our classes closer together.  We have been discussing lots of cool activities and trips for the coming school year.

New school - same program

I spent the last three days getting my new classroom ready and meeting with the other teachers at my new school.  All three of us teachers in our program are new to the school.  The other two are essentially first year teachers.  Our students come on Tuesday morning to start the new school year.  It looks like it will be an exciting year of learning and teaching for staff as well as the students.  I'm really looking forward to it.
