The First Two Weeks

The first two weeks of school are almost up.  It's been a bit of a whirlwind, but every minute has been great.  I'm starting to get used to elementary and the students are great.  I started pulling groups this week for services and the kids seem to be doing well.  My biggest issue has been adjusting to the difference between middle school and elementary.  Some of it came pretty natural but other things have been more difficult.  The schedule has probably been the most difficult.  In middle school there are set times for every class so things are pretty much the same across the board as far as student minutes go.  In elementary, the grade levels set their own schedules so it's been a little difficult trying to figure out how to get my students scheduled, but I think I'm about there!  The school rocks.  Everyone seems flexible and supportive.  The teachers whose rooms I'm in seem to want to include me as a part of the class and they really seem to like having my students in their class.  Overall I give the first two weeks, two thumbs up!
