18 Days and Counting! (The First Day of School)
August is going to be a big month for me! Today I flew to Grand Rapids Michigan where I am currently sitting in a hotel room before beginning my new teacher orientation training. I will be spending the next 5 days with National Heritage Academies training for the year ahead. I believe I will gain a wealth of knowledge and will hopefully leave feeling even more prepared to begin this journey.
Upon arriving home on Friday I will then move to my new apartment on Saturday! I will spend two days moving in (and turn 22) before starting work on Monday!
Monday the 9th begins a full week of professional development and then school begins the NEXT week. Yes actual school. With actual students. August 18th is the day to be exact. So again I say... August is going to be a BIG month.
Back to NTO however...
I spent the evening roaming around with two new friends (Patrice and Shaundria (not sure about the spelling!) who will be teaching kindergarten and 1st grade at my school. I had a lot of fun with them and am looking forward to meeting even more people over the rest of this week. My roommate Kristen is also teaching at my school next year but she has yet to arrive so we have not met yet. I'm not sure where she is but I hope she gets here soon!
Our schedule for the week is jam packed with sessions on all the different subjects, classroom management, etc. Right now I feel like an open book just waiting for people to dump knowledge into and I hope this will do just that.
Now I'm rambling which means it is time to go to bed (especially considering I have to be up by 6:15 in the morning! YIKES.. WELCOME TO THE REAL WORLD! :)
