Nearly the end of Week 2.
The second week of school has nearly passed, boy the time is going quickly. I have forgotten how organised you have to be as an IM teacher. The work can be really rewarding but it can also do your head in! It is really difficult to get everything done at a school especially when you are only there for a day and don’t return till the following week. Today my frustration came when I was chasing a principal to sign a letter that I had to get out to the kids and I was waiting all day until finally at 3:30 I tracked him down and physically got him to sign it. I then had another hour of work to do photocopying, sorting, and marking into class groups, putting them in teacher’s pigeon holes!
On a different note, most things about moving into our house are great. However, we do have interesting neighbours. They have very loud arguments probably every second day. It started the day after we moved in! Today they had a doozy (I was not home but T informed me) and 6 police turned up. They have been pretty quiet tonight so I hope it gets better. A positive to come out of it all is that it has made us appreciate having a good relationship!
