So Ry and I officially live in Rancho Cordova now. All of our stuff is unpacked and either in our room or jammed into our storage unit. We made about 5 trips back and forth this week. It was pretty rough. But the highlight of the week was getting to see my new school. It is amazing! They are only finishing up their 6th year so everything is still practically new. Well, new compared to the previous schools I taught at. They are moving my classroom from a portable room to a huge room! It has sinks, tons of storage space, and a bathroom right outside this small room that connects to a kindergarten classroom. I will be close to the small playground that the kindergarteners use which will probably be better for my students. I met the old teacher and we are meeting next week to go over IEPs, she seemed very nice and eager to help me out and talk with me about the students. They had me go into her room and put sticky notes on all the pieces of furniture I wanted for my room. It's still so bizare to think about. The principal was also extremely nice and welcoming. I should start training for the new curriculum within a couple weeks. I am also meeting the assistant superintendent on Tuesday where I get the "official" offer. Hopefully I find out exactly how much moola I will be making as well. The only downer is that it takes me exactly a half hour to get there. and that is without traffic. I'm going to have to do a few trial runs during the summer to see how bad traffic is. Ry and I still have to go back to Chico to clean the house. Not fun. I'm sick of driving but we are almost done. Oh and I think Marley and the cats love it here more than the Chico house. They have cool wood floors to sleep on. Marley also really loves the new park we take her too. Tonight this lil family with two baby girls were having tons of fun watching her fetch her toy a million times. Well, I guess that's it for now. Here is the link to my new school, check it out!
