I spent two days this week working in my new classroom with the teacher who is leaving in a few weeks on maternity leave. It was so fun to meet the children, a few of the parents, and quite a few of the teachers. It was wonderful to interact with the kids and start to get back in the swing of teaching. It is amazing how easily I have slowed my pace since last June. The kids are so darling, both the kindergartners and the first graders. I know look at the second graders as if they are old! haha how funny is that?!
I will be back up there two days next week, to be with the kids and to continue to learn from the leaving teacher. I am so excited to be a 'kinder teacher' though that I can hardly stop looking for ideas, watching the current teacher, and digging through her files and observing the kids. It is overwhelming but wonderful. I sure have lots to learn though!
On another note (maybe connected, maybe not...) my headaches have returned. I have had a horrible headache for days now, and today was by far the worse. I have taken medicine, and have tried to lay low, but it isn't giving up on making me miserable. And, to top off a bad headache, I was at the dentist for two hours today! Nothing like moving and having to go to a new dentist after seeing the one I liked for 25 years. New x-rays, records, info sheets, etc. ugh-yuck!
