First Day at Muskegon Technical Academy

Wow! What a first day! You wouldn't believe how different my classes look. The diversity within them is amazing. So far the kids seem really friendly and open to me, but we'll see once my Teacher-Capyness comes back in full swing. They are all really excited to work with Freedom Writer stuff too and they love the wall. I will post photos when I can, but I painted the USA etc. on one of my walls so I can post photos of my other FW Teacher friends in their classes. We're going to start a shield project that I learned at the FW training this summer tomorrow and I am super excited for that. I took all of their photos today during class and they are printing right now. I have so many FWT things that I can't wait to use.

Anyway, I hear today was a little chaotic...just remember that it will all work out in the end. And cut your teachers/administrators some slack!

Mikey, how is college? (That's your name now, btw)

oh Ms. Capy, you singled me out! WAHOO!!

College is so much fun. I'm having a blast. My roommates are freakin awesome, and we have some great times ahead of us, as well as behind us.

Oh, yeah, classes are good too.

Fire up, chips!

ooo i cant wait to see pictures of your cool new room. it wont be the same without eternal easter colors, but im sure it will still be pretty sweet.

today was really crazy. if you thought HHS was small, whoa. you have to come visit sometime soon. just call in sick and come teach for us instead. it'll work fine, dont worry.

I can't. They're letting me take off a week and two days for the wedding and honeymoon...I can't get sick the rest of the year.

Do you have someone taking Diversity Club? I need to know when Crosstown is so I can try to at least call the Bible phone! Tell Susan!

Also, remind our friends to get on here and write! (not that I don't love that it seems to be the three of our little conversations!)

Hey Cath so happy to hear things are going well. My first day was INSANE! I survived though, what do I need to know for the future about Diversity Club.
