6 days into my stay in Hawaii and I haven't been to the beach yet
But let's be honest, there will be plenty of time for that

I have been to a lot of meetings where I have fallen asleep
(educators and administrators can be so boring sometimes)

I still have no clue what I am teaching, and school starts in about a week
but if they aren't worried about it, then I am not going to let myself be worried about it

My classroom is a MESS
The previous teacher left everything, including 4 layers of dirt, in the classroom and I don't even know where to begin with cleaning it

Thank goodness my mother came with me, I honestly would not have been able to make the move as smoothly without her assistance
For reals, my mom is the best
She has spent so much time cleaning my new house, my classroom and teaching me how to drive stick
and just generally taking care of me and being my mom

Within the next few weeks I should be able to establish more of a routine and figure out my classes and such
then I expect LOTS of visitors!

I have to agree. I am a huge fan of less meetings, more time in the classroom to get ready for the first day of school. Good luck, and post pics!

I've been there... inheriting classroom explosions, ambiguous curriculum and all. Use it as an opportunity to make it yours. It will be great, it just takes elbow grease and time :)

Haha oh that is sooo Hawaii. So maybe you don't know what you're teaching... maybe you won't know till after school starts... and maybe no one will be bothered.

need some pictures, I'm sure you know how to use a camera and I'm tired of looking at words.
