And the year long internship begins! I started my first day yesterday and inservice has been surprisingly not-so-bad. Yesterday I got to the school around 730am and learned where my classroom would be for the next year! At 815am we had our first meeting, which consisted of introductions, simple announcements (with tons of acronyms that I had NO idea what they stood for), and a 'social' game of bingo to get to know staff members. For the rest of the day, Jen and I unpacked boxes to prepare our room! I learned that I'm going to have my own desk (which I wasn't expecting for some reason), and I've been super excited to decorate it. Last night I got together some pictures and used scrapbooking materials to help spruce up my area. I took some pictures from day one and day two to show the progress we've made so far. While yesterday was mostly unpacking boxes, today we did bulletin boards. I learned how to do my first bulletin board ever! A small task, I know, but an extremely important one as well ;) Jen also taught me how to use the laminator today... I'm crossing my fingers to never mess this up :) Our theme in the classroom is polka dots, which I love! It's still young, but not too girly or childish. I also got to put together my desk today and it makes me want to sit there for days on end...it's pretty cute :) Our 3rd grade team went to Cheddar's today and Jen was super sweet and treated me to the lunch. We're getting along together so well already, and I'm excited to see how well we will work together throughout the year!
