team teacher lunch

Yesterday, I met my team teacher for lunch. When I met her, we didn't shake hands. Instead, we hugged. The hug set the tone of the lunch. We chatted about the school-- she's been teaching in this school district for over fifteen years so she knows a lot of people and about how things run. We discussed ideas for field trips, which we'll have to submit for review on the first week. We talked about the level of classes we'll have and various strategies. She gave me hints about low-budget classroom decorating. My room is going to be minimalist.

She's an official mentor for the school system, and she said that she'd be glad to be mine. She thanked me for calling and initiating.

The only problem is that she might switch teams if the other Math-Science teacher doesn't get AIG certification. That would make sad.
