humble beginnings

Dan has been at DMC everyday since Aug. 1st preparing for his first day of school on Aug. 18th. He has had meetings with the principal, time to connect with the other jr. high teachers, and time to figure out exactly what he is doing. In the past 2 weeks or so, Dan created probably his first ever bulletin boards!
The constant...this board will only display necessary school/class information

These boards are also in the front of the classroom, he's not quite sure what to do with them yet...that's ok he still has a week :)
also, that's Dan's desk computer...unfortunately, his desk is in the back of the classroom and the computer is in the front. The only way to get the computer in the back is to have cords running the length of the room under the students desks...guess it's going to stay there for now :D
Here are some classroom and storage room shots Dan took today:

...notice the computer and desk positions above...
the nicely stocked storage room.

Today was the first day for me at CPCS. I only stayed about 3 hours due to lack of clue of what to do. While I was there I was able to make a bulletin board behind my desk:

it says Mrs. Broersma's with Computers coming from the M in Broersma-in case you couldn't read it ;)
The following is the nice computer lab I was supplied with...I'm still trying to figure out arrangement and workability...it's difficult considering everything is bolted into place

Those are the latest on the picture front. On our lives, neither of our schools provide dental insurance so we are now beginning to figure out if/what insurance we should get. If you have any suggestions, please let us know! I've always found insurance to be something of an annoyance, too many deductibles, co-pays, limited benefits, etc. Some how life has caught up with us and we really weren't planning on having it come to visit anytime soon. Justin really is right, once you get married you turn "old." Thanks a lot Justin...way to be right...again

I think it's time for a fun picture from our trip to Mackinac Island. Let's see if you get it...

it made me laugh :) hope it makes your day, too!
