Ahhhhh!!! I am back at Waldo!!! Now I will be here full-time until JUNE!! It was quite the day to be back at the middle school. We had a 2 hour delay because of the snow. I was hoping that it would be a snow day, but it was still nice to get a few hours more to stay in because I had trouble sleeping the night before. I do not think tomorrow will be a 2 hour delay because it is not cold enough for the snow to stick and it is more like slush than snow. It is still very cold though!!
It was an interesting day because not many students showed up! We started school with 3rd period, and I was in the ESL II class that I will take over next semester. There were only 3 students in the class. Even though it is a small class... students slowly trickled in throughout the morning. I like being at Waldo, and I like the students there. I received the textbooks that I will need to start some of my planning for next semester. I will start taking over some smaller roles to ease into transitioning my role as the teacher by 2nd semester. I will let you know how it goes!! :)
Today there was a shortened staff meeting because of the weather. Teachers shared their work with each other through a gallery display, and there were a few updates. I think staff meetings reveal a lot about the teacher/admin relationship and culture. I do enjoy observing how they all interact with each other.
Hope for a 2 hour delay tomorrow. :)
