Two weeks of school gone by and I'm really just beginning to get the hang of it. Teaching Reading Recovery this year. It is a scripted program and getting the routines down is as difficult for me as it is for the students. It like learning your lines for a play. Right now I am tied to my book. Each day gets better.
We have new teachers, new databases, new students (of course). Since I was unable to go to in-service days I am trying to get everyone on board. I catch teacher's in the hall, make handouts for databases, and attempt to learn all the students' names before Halloween.
