Moving

Since my last post.....I have handed in my two weeks notice at my school, retail job, AND preschool.
Those two weeks flew by and I was obviously very busy! (hence no update). Lots of packing, planning, booking....and such.
Also went down to NC with Brittany last weekend to look at the apartment I thought I would like, see the school and my classroom.
First impressions of the school.....it is VERY DIFFERENT than what I'm used to. It has an open courtyard feel. It is not your traditional "one building" school. The office stands alone, and pretty much the classrooms do as well being that you enter them individually from the outside. There are "breezeways" inside of hallways, and basically the teachers never see each other.
That being said, the fourth and fifth grades have a hallway, the ONLY hallway in the place... so I'll get to feel a little bit of normalcy there.
It is a very low income area and these kids are basically living in poverty. We're talking some of them probably don't even own a toothbrush.
My class sounds like they have a ton of behavior problems.....so it should be a fun couple of months being welcomed into the teaching profession. I'm also walking right into conference week, and report cards.

My last day at South was yesterday :( Sad.
Moving day is tomorrow and we are packing up the truck today.
First day at new school is March 18th!

Sorry this is not elegantly worded....just wanted to update to be sure I record my first impressions and such.
