Just a little about school.
Although I have been at school, it looks like the doors may only open next week or in the beginning of September. WHEW!! That gives me some more time to get ready and set up my classroom. We are moving into our new building on Monday. Very excited. The school classrooms as I said are enormous. The building has 3 floors. It doesn't look like it from the outside, but once you step into the building, its a different story.
On the ground/first floor we have my classroom, art room and library. You also have the kitchen. on the other side of the passage is about 6 offices and a huge reception area. The second floor is the meeting room, staff room, more offices and the other side of the passage, the year 1&2, year 3&4, an empty classroom for assembly or PE if weather is bad, and the dining hall for the students. On the third floor is the year 5&6, and a music/dance room and more offices. It is beautiful.
I went to an orientation on the 7th at the next town/city 2 hours away. It was informative. We were introduced to the curriculum and every head of ever section in the company were there to introduce themselves, their section, and what service they offer us. I was very impressed. Myself, the principal and the Chinese teacher were all summoned there on Thursday. We left Rizhao at 10am and arrived home at 7pm. I have been very tired these last couple of days.
