My first day at Gordon Bell was interesting to say the least! I am teaching Art to all grades (7-12), and my CT is a great lady. I started the day off pretty excited about teaching my major and getting my hands in the paint again, but learned quickly that there is going to be little time for that. My day was mainly spent catching up kids that had missed the last week of classes and reminding them that "f*#@" is not proper English! Needless to say they are a rough crowd but thankfully they decided to go easy on me on my first day. Let's hope it stays that way!
The staff is friendly enough but it was pretty obvious that they were not prepared for us. At this point the only person I have met is my CT, the lead teacher and the computer guy. Pretty sad! At least they showed me where the bathroom and the lunchroom were!?!(no sarcasm intended) I'm trying to stay positive about it and will take next week to venture out and find out more about what kinds of things are going on in the school.
Wish me luck, I think i'm going to need it!
good luck!
