My School

Well, I officially visited my school today! I will be teaching at MBK (The acronym for my high school) Muhammed Bin Kalifa School. It is an all boys school and I will be teaching 5th grade, two classes of it. One during the first period, and one during the second period. It is during this time that I will be teaching integrated math, science, and english. Now usually, I like to set up my classroom first, and then organize my lessons and things of that nature, but my HOF (Head of Faculty) stressed that we need to get our routines down first and not to worry about the classroom atmosphere. I heard this but I was really just trying to get out the way what I could, and was still trying to get my class straight by going to Carrefour and getting all of the extra pieces I wanted to put in my room, unfortunately, they didn't have it at Carrefour. Both Thomas and I too tired to go to another store, came home and took a nap, and when I woke up, I came to the realization of what my HOF had told me earlier, just focus on routines, don't worry about the classroom now. So that's where my mind is right now. We have another meeting tomorrow, and actually schools starts Monday with our only day of preparing our classrooms today. Not the time that I am used to, but hey, I'll take it! I am really just being very laid back and not stressing about it. It will all work out, and trust me, I'm praying. :-) Here are pictures of my classroom.... All I was able to get done today...Work in Progress....
