My Poor Neglected Blog (3/8-11)

Yep, I am definitely back to work!!!

I have been busy adjusting to the many tasks of teaching. There are lots of new systems to learn, rules to know, and curriculum to teach. Many of the kids in my class have been here 4 or more years. And they want me to be in charge!

There are several things worth noting. I teach Math and Science to two 4th grades classes of 20 students. There are LOTS more boys than girls. Students have to wear a tie and coat to and from school, then change into a smock when they get to class. A kiss on the cheek is a typical greeting. They write A LOT. And they have special classes daily, 3 recess, and a long lunch.

Lots of differences, but lots of similarity too. I love this picture of kids in the computer lab.
