I worked hard in my classroom Thursday. I got many bulletin boards covered and bordered and got my welcome message posted on the door. I also found out that I'm on the discipline committee and had my first meeting.
Friday night I went to one of the other fourth grade teacher's house for her daughter's birthday. We had a good time, even though we didn't know anyone when we arrived. Everyone made us feel comfortable and welcomed.
Today I went to my first day of new teacher orientation. Harry Wong would be proud. Six days of orientation! Hopefully I'll feel like I know what I'm doing by the end of the week. To make it better, I found out that I will be paid a stipend for the orientation time! Sitting through sexual harassment training is so much more bearable knowing I'm being paid to be there! I also found out that I will be reimbursed for my out-of-state certification costs. It's wonderful finding out there is money coming for things I would have done regardless!
Pictures of El Paso, Juarez, and my classroom are coming soon.
