After my background check on Friday (it was clean if you were wondering) I drove (myself) to my new school. I only got lost twice!! The school is huge--two levels with an indoor track. Outside my classroom door is an ice rink!! Everyone was very welcoming except the sub who is leaving--I felt a "little" bad for him. (he was cool) His name is Jason and he's Sarah Palin's age--I know this because he went to school with her and her sister--let's just say that he liked her sister better!
He's a native Alaskan--no Barb--not an Eskimo! He was born and raised here.
Winston is my teammate and neighbor--she's from Denver and is a whopping 25 years old! She teaches science and took me to dinner on Friday night. She's very nice and helpful as well. Winston brings her dog Herbie to school everyday--he sits in the car until lunch and then again until schools over! He's a very cute furball--mutt. Bear would have eaten the car!!
Well, the real-deal starts tomorrow--I'm sure am excited!! I have a week of lesson plans ready to go--Jason stays on until Wed. thank goodness!
I'll keep you all posted--by the way, my classroom is empty...I have a wish list if you would like to send me anything you have hanging around the house!!
Miss you all....

Hi steph- have fun tomorrow! Bear is doing great (this message is for Katie and Chris's benefit too)! I just put Ellie and Bear down in the basement where they like to run around- we hear huge bumps against the walls and laugh! Ellie likes having a brother!
