So I have had orientation for two days so far and there is so much to do! We start out the meetings every morning with worship (in English and Spanish which is so cool) and then we have department meetings, then a meeting for new teachers. After all this we spend some time in the classroom. Today I actually got some of my desks and my bulletin boards put up. It's starting to come together and look like a classroom! The other fourh grade teacher and I have decided to team teach, she is doing science and I'll be teaching math for both classess (shout out to Lesley Doherty for making me feel confident enough to do that. Would never have done that a year ago!)
Tomorrow is more orientation and working in my classroom. Hopefully I will start decorating walls and putting things on bookshelves. When I get everything together I put up a picture of what it looks like.
