Day 3, The 1st Day at The Edge.

This is the first official day at Edgemont Elementary when I arrive my co-operating teacher & I have to head outside for morning bus duty.  While my teacher is doing the morning announcements I am getting the room ready for the first class, here at the Edge we have morning prep the first class of the day so we don't see students until 9:45.  This is a fairly simple day because we are doing the exact same thing that we did at Savage yesterday.  Since I have heard the spiel so I am up on deck for at least one class today running the show.  My co-operating teacher jumps in every now and then since she has that loud cutting voice that the students know through experience and reputation. The music teacher came in during out prep and I was talking to him, he knew I was s student teacher and he asked me if I was sure this was something I wanted to do for a living.  Can't let this psych me out he seems only a couple of years away from retirement but at the same time he also seems very bitter about the system and how things have deteriorated over time.  By the end of the day there was only one class that was behind where we wanted them to be.  Began's 2nd grade was late to the art room so they weren't able to start their helper cards which means when we start their table folders they'll have to work double time to do both in one day.
