I worked at MIS for a month and something big happens. We move to a new building! That is very exciting and very stressful for all parties involved (students, teachers, staff). In reality we were supposed to be there on the 3rd but we got moved in on the 10th (yesterday). It was a little frustrating because over the holiday we were asked to come in on Saturday or Sunday to see the building. I did and it didn't look ready at all. I came back on Monday and was told to come back Thursday. I was supposed to come back at 2, I assumed it was a half day so I got all spruced up for work and came in and was told to come back on Monday. Finally, yesterday we actually had school and it was a tad overwhelming.
Finding my classrooms wasn't terribly difficult but my classes have gotten all mismatched. Some classes are big and others are small. My afternoon grade two class is enormous. My schedule is also a bit different. I have my grade one kids that were in my other class first (they were originally my last class of the day) and my other grade one kids last. My first grade two class is rather small and I like it but they're still a bit of a handful. All my grade one classes are a delight, I'm just not used to the kids being all swapped around.
Yes, this class gets its own paragraph. It's THAT class, all teachers have THAT class, the one that is too wild, or won't be quiet. My afternoon grade two class is THAT class. The reason? There are so many freaking kids! They are loud, they are disruptive and it is hard to get around the room with so many desks! I'll figure something out, I'm a decent teacher, it's a small challenge. Being in the new building is a lot of fun and I'll write more about it should it become applicable.
Till next time.
