So many firsts

Even though I've experienced many teacher prep weeks, today brought many firsts. Here is a sampling:
- Using twitter
- Scanning a QRcode
- Having a relaxed, small group lunch with an administrator
- Feeling like the majority of an orientation day was focused on answering questions, inviting new ideas, and having the opportunity to obtain useful information. My usual orientation experiences have centered more around being talked to and watching PowerPoint presentations.
- Having access to a class schedule and roster weeks before classes begin

All of these "firsts" have reinforced my enthusiasm for working at Flint Hill and my belief that teaching at Flint Hill will be very different than ones I've previously had. While all of this is very exciting and I've enjoyed spending time with everyone today, I also now have this urge to make some coffee, crawl into a personal space, and spend time independently exploring all of the new things to which I've been exposed. I foresee my evening being one full of reading through the Flint Hill faculty portal, personalizing my new email, and setting up my new computer.

The Race

Thought today's scavenger hunt was tremendous fun and a great way to navigate the school!
