First two days...

Because of the Super Bowl and the snow on our first day of school, which happened to be a Professional Day, we were delayed three hours. So, we didn't have to be at school until 11:00 A.M. Apparently it never snows here and people FREAK out when it does because they are no where near prepared for it. All they have are "grit" trucks, AKA sand trucks, there are no snow plows in the smaller villages. So, there was hardly anyone out on Sunday. 

Sunday a couple of us went to the BX to get a couple of things and then went out to Steve's house for the Super Bowl. He also took us to a pub, The George, for our first British Pub experience. I must say I loved it!! lol there was no on there though. haha But Paul, the owner, was pretty nice. The Super Bowl here didn't start until 11:18 P.M. and we didn't leave Steve's house until 2:00 A.M. so it was a good thing school was delayed. 

As for the professional day we didn't really do anything. Emily and I went to the post office to get our box and to the bus office to get our bus passes. We also went to the travel office to book a trip to Paris, but it was all booked. So, I believe we are going to London!!!! There will probably be 9 of us going, if everyone goes. For the rest of the day Monday, there were meetings that emily and I sat in for about 10 mins. Today, Tuesday, was our first day. And again we were delayed two hours because the roads were really slick. 

Today, we only had 4 classes. 1 Kindergarten, 1 1st grade, 1 3rd grade, and the Special Ed class. Tuesdays are going to be our longest days because we have 6 classes. Today the SPED (Special Ed) class was my favorite. We only had two, one with autism and I don't remember what Ms. Parkerson said Mason had. But, I really enjoyed playing with the both of them. Mostly with Julian. 

Funny thing happened today in my first class. The sub that was for this class asked me if I was a mother of one of the students. EEK!!!!  I told her NO...I was a student teacher!!! She just totally freaked me out!! 

Alright, if you all want a postcard, please let me know your address and I will send you one!!!

Cheers!!!
