What a wild and wonderful week this has been. I have now been a 4th grade teacher for a whole week. Teaching 4th grade in a Catholic School is so different from teaching middle school in a public school that I'm not even sure how to describe it.
My colleagues have been very welcoming and helpful. The parents have been supportive and encouraging. And the kids seem excited to have a "boy" teacher.
This week I also received my first 5-star review on my new book. Seeing and reading the review was a nice affirmation. I am hoping many more such positive reviews will follow.
How was your week? Do you have big plans for the weekend? If you are along the path, are you looking forward to the eclipse?

It sounds a very welcoming place.
And I am thrilled you got a 5 star on your book.
Glad to see you here friend.

Hope you have a wonderful teaching year in the new school. Big thumbs up for your 5 star review on your new book. My grandchildren don't go back to school until the middle of next week.

We still have about 2 weeks until school starts here. Lucky us! Glad things are going smoothly for you! 4th graders are a lot more fun than tweens! My youngest will be entering 4th grade this year.

I'm so glad it's going well for you! I'm sure there are many positive differences between the schools.

I am so glad your new school and new year is starting off good. I really hope this school year will be good and rewarding for you. Yes, we live in 100 percent totality for viewing the eclipse. Our small town is expecting many visitors on Monday. All our hotels are full according to our local newspaper. I have my eclipse glasses and plan on viewing it here at the house.

Sounds like you've found your perfect teaching environment. Well done on the book review!

My past week was a full work week too but I faced adults and not children.
No I have no plans for the eclipse but I am sure to look around and not to the sun.

Are you happy thus far in your new teaching position? I know how discouraged and unhappy you were in your public school post.
