Meeting New People

OK, so I will apologize up front about the length of this post.  I am in a frenzy trying to learn, adapt, and be ready to disseminate a new curriculum at my school.  Therefore, I will have to use some photos and videos to make up the bulk of this week's bit.

In addition to my classroom, I have a shared office on the second floor.  We call it the "Office of Randoms" and answer the phone accordingly due to the fact that we have two social studies teachers, two art teachers (who are never in the office), a drama teacher, and two English teachers (including me).  Linda (American) and Genna (British) are two returning teachers that immediately made me feel welcome. I left my computer unlocked and found the screen like this:
I took my "hazing" in good form and vowed vengeance silently to myself.  I also lock my computer if I am five feet or more from the keyboard.  On Saturday, I went to Spinney's (the local grocers next to the school) and tried to find plastic wrap.  I succeeded in procuring aluminum foil however, and staged my glorious payback:



On my return Sunday, Linda had already unwrapped her present, and I got to witness Genna's face as she found her desk covered.  She took it all in good fun as you can see:
I am already thankful to have playful office mates that will make this school year even better.  In conclusion, I wanted to share a video by the new physics teacher, Gaston Rings.  He did an excellent job editing and capturing the things I have seen these last two weeks.  Please enjoy, and have a great week!!!  Just click on the following link for the video:
