Oh what a day. It was a great day today as I started my first day at my school. To my luck there were no kids there, but the teachers and faulty was. I started the day waiting for the bus with the other teachers in the lobby. We did get to the school at about 7:15, which on a normal day I would have been late. However the other teachers and I headed up to the office where we met our head of faulty. We sat there and got an overview about what will be happening in the school, after talking about an hour we were able to head to the principal’s office.

Once we got to the principal’s office we sat there for a short while, while we waited for her. After she arrived we ended up having coffee and pastries with her, something I have never done before. Then other teachers started to come in and be introduced to us. We meet almost the whole staff while we were sitting in the office. We had one group of ladies ask us if we were planning on staying at the school or leaving after this year. I said I hoped to stay a few years and she got really excited. She said to me that she was happy because I had a funny smile. I was a bite confused but then another teacher came in and said I have a nice smile, so they know I am friendly and will do well. They then took us and showed us around to our classrooms.
I was able to get in and find my classroom. When I first saw my room I was a little scared and I really didn’t know what I was to do with it. The teacher from the year before had just left everything in the room and on the wall. So the first thing I did was really find out if I could change the walls, once it was settled that I could I started to go through things. I was able to chip away at the room and get some of the garbage out of the room and I was also able to get a lot of the stuff off the wall that I didn’t want. I was able to get my desk and chairs into their groups. After I get this done we had to meet again to talk about what we are going to do on the first day of school. Then it was time to head home, so now I am sitting here typing about to find a movie and make a list of everything I need to get done in the next two day. Oh there is a lot so I guess I better get too it.
