Erin school

August 27 2008. I went to see my school today for the first time with my girl Patty and found out it’s almost an hour commute from where I live. It won’t be that bad that though, the only that will suck is when I have to walk in dress pants in 95 degree weather but thanks to Erin and Katie the bus ride won’t be bad because I can just read the books they got me. While I was waiting for the bus there was this little boy who kept staring at me like I had a third eye. I would try and smile but he would just stare, then he started getting closer and closer till he was basically right next to me. He stood there for a minute and then he started singing his ABC’s to me. It was the cutest thing ever, so I gave him a thumbs up and told him good job. He started clapping and jumping up and down. I wanted to put him in my purse and take him with me he was so stinkin cute. The school is beautiful it looks like an old temple of worship, the classrooms are closed on and has air conditioning (thank god) but the rest of the school is very open to the outside, there are little patios everywhere. I love it. It was so awesome because I already have my own desk and locker with my name on it. I also get a classroom to myself which is really nice that I don’t have to move from class to class. I start next Tuesday and I am so nervous because although I have taught before I have never taught in this type of environment and for the first time I will have the classroom all to myself. It’s very exciting and scary at the same time. I am also nervous because I have two classes in which I teach the teachers and those classes do not come with any guide books or anything, I just have to wing it. The schedule really isn’t that bad though, I only have to come in when I have to teach and if I don’t have any classes after that then I can leave. Mondays and Wednesdays are my long days, I don’t get out of school until 5:40 but Thursday and Friday are my easy days. It will be a crazy school year because I have 24 fifty minute classes that I teach each week and I will only see each class once a week. It seems like a really nice school and I think I will be very happy there. I miss everyone a lot. I will post pics of the school later.
