Stepping way out of the comfort of my grade two classroom and into year two

Walking up to my classroom. The students can eat out here as well.

School is starting soon (ahhh). The walls, the resources, the programs and the teaching partners I have come to rely on are back in Beaumont. The adventure/ challenge that awaits me starts in this week. I have met some amazing colleagues and have been given small insights into the programs (L3, TENS, and more) and the differences that await me.

Some notable differences:

1) they have different paper sizes A3, A4, A5 

2) the binders are two holes not three

3) page protectors are used for everything (really everything) 

4) afternoon tea is on the schedule 

5) staff room treats are frozen! 

6) the content I am teaching in year two is very different form grade two

So much is the same! Teachers are all so helpful. I am nervous, anxious and excited all at the same time for Monday. I can't wait for the questions about Canada, and to ask the students all the questions I have about where they live.

I finally have my room with no desks.
