Today I went to sign my contract, as well as all the paperwork that comes along with getting a new job (health insurance, background check, retirement, IRS papers, etc. etc.). I signed my name so many times that my hand started to hurt (People, it is not a short name. When I get to the end of my last name, it's all scribbled because I'm fed up with writing it!)! I also stopped by my new school to meet with my mentor, the secretaries and get a tour (what we could...they started waxing the floors, so we couldn't go in certain areas.) What does one wear when wanting to make a good impression? I'll show you! :)
I wore it with the sweater for most of the day, and took it off in the afternoon. I practically live in my denim skirt in the summer, because it's long enough to be warm when it's cooler, and short enough to be cool when it's warmer!Sweater and shoes: Target
Shirt, tank and skirt: Old Navy
(Please, please, please ignore the mess on the floor...I'm currently living with my parents, and spend most of my time in one room, and since I have all my teaching stuff plus my grad school stuff, plus all my other stuff, it gets a little crowded!)
Yes?
Okay!
Oh, one things I should mention...that I got really excited about...see if you can find it! :)
People, I have a SMARTBOARD!!! :D (Did you see it?! It's in the first picture!) Apparently, one teacher in each grade has a SmartBoard, and I'm the lucky one who is moving into that room.
Excuse the mess, the other teacher is still moving her things out (she took a Tier 2 teaching position in the school, like a push-in teacher). The classroom is HUGE! The best part (which I'm still shocked at)....I have 16, no make that 14 (two say they are moving) kids! How unbelievable is that! I've always had around 20 or more, so this will feel really small!
Well, I think that's enough for today...I have more to tell you, but I think it can wait for tomorrow. :)
Don't forget to enter my giveaway!
