Hello Salem!

Today was my first day in my new school. Although I am in the same grade, these two placements could not be more different. First of all, I now have a class of 24, compared to my previous class of 9. I was anticipating to be overwhelmed with almost tripling my class size, however I must say I was not overwhelmed whatsoever. I was beyond impressed with how well behaved and independent the whole class was. I think I commented on this to my new co-op about 10 times throughout the day.

Another major difference is the demographics. The socioeconomic status of a huge majority of this class is very low. My co-op gave me the background stories of some of my students and I realized how naive I was to the reality of some student's lives. There are so many districts where this type of home life is the "norm" and that is so incredibly sad.

 The students all seemed so excited to be at school and I am really looking forward to my next 8 weeks with them!
