This week was a treat. One - because the kids acted (for the most part) good. And, two - because it only lasted THREE DAYS! Here are some of our favourite things about the new school:
* Transportation. The drive to school is only 5 minutes long! (In comparison to Cairo...where it could get quite lengthy depending on traffic!)
* Resources. Phil has a gym with a climbing wall and a storage room full of equipment, and I have an official lab that is well stocked and managed with a really sweet lab technician!
* Colleagues. I keep wondering when they are going to stop being friendly and start being normal. Haha, I can't believe how lovely they are. ALL OF THEM!
* Teamwork. At the new school, staff work together to team-teach different subjects. I have two other ladies who are teaching grade 10 chemistry with me and Phil is working alongside a TRENT ALUM (woot, woot) who teaches middle school P.E. to the girls. It is great to share ideas with people in your own field and to split up the work so after school hours aren't so busy!
* Bulletin Boards. (I am adding this one without Phil's support). I LOVE DECORATING MY OWN, ASSIGNED BULLETIN BOARDS! It is like public arts and crafts......that you get paid for! I am already brainstorming for my future pieces...haha.
I am happy that both of you are happy with your new school. Kuwait sounds really fantastic. I am completely impressed with the whole thing thus far. So, so cheering you on! xo
