So far, so good. An absolute normal beginning to what seems like an amazing year! This is the 3rd full day into the new school year, and I am returning after a year in corporate America.... but I am glad to be back at my Atlanta Public Schools home.
Friday, was our music teachers meeting across the entire district. There I received valuable information, met our new music coordinator, Sarah Womack, and I've also met new music teachers, and reconnected with ones I have known. I have to say, the room was filled with mostly newer music teachers whom I never met before. Our day of pro. d. was at North Atlanta. I have to say, that was my first time visiting this newer updated campus!
I wanted to mention 2 things about our first day back to school. 1, my room was in better shape, meaning many boxes were cleared out, and I had the chance to get my room decorated. I visited Saturday and when I went, I had a very powerful spray that was needed to freshen it up to the max, and many things from my garage to decorate the room. Mainly, I was concerned with organizing the music room. Even today, I was still adding those personal touches to my room. The music decorations part will come, but I prefer the to put music info up after the kids pretest ( because all the answers are on the decorations!! Haha).
The 2nd thing I wanted to mention, was our principal, Ms. Perry tasked us all with an assignment in our first meeting to meet 2 staff members and tell one fact about each person. Well, I met so many, but what was funny, several staff members mentioned meeting me! And they had nice things to say. I found myself going, "Wow! I told these people some very key bits about myself!"...lol
Lastly, I am still getting my purchases ready for instruction. I will return after I have met my students. Enjoy some before and after pics of my classroom. The blur comes from creating pics from vids.
