Getting settled in my new classroom

I have worked with my new students for two days and I am starting to get used to their curriculum.  They are very smart and funny, but a few of them are very far behind.  They have had a difficult time keeping teachers and the the students have gone long stretches without anyone to teach them.  I am trying to adapt to a very different schedule, I had students from 1:00 until 8:00 today, and my schedule changes depending on when we have shows.  I work when the parents work.  It is a very interesting concept that school adapts to the families' schedule, rather than the family adapting to the school's schedule. I will work again tomorrow and then have Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday off.  Next week I work Thursday, Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday, then we strike and head to Columbia, SC.  I think it is time to call it a night, I will be in touch.
