1st day in Clark. Just expressing my opinion!

So, I just felt like expressing my thoughts on the blog about the comparison on both school districts. I'm assuming this is like my 1st journal for the Hehnly school but I wanted to share it. Well, I have to be straight forward and say that I definitely, do without a doubt, miss being at Harrison school. The atmosphere and the kids was more of what I like to see in a school. Nothing personal against Hehnly or Valley Road but I instantly knew that I loved being at Harrison. I wish I could do all of my field work there! One thing that bothered me was the fact that the teacher at Hehnly was an older woman, who really didn't have any control over the class and this made for a chaotic environment. She was a high school teacher for many years and has been teaching kindergarten for about 7 years. Another thing that I was cringing over the whole day, was the fact that her classrooms were so disorganized and messy! I couldn't bare to look at the piles and stacks of papers, books, and god knows what else all over her desk and tables. I couldn't even see the table or desk! That's how cluttered it all was. I was so used to my fresh faced, incredibly organized 1st grade teacher at Harrison who most definitely had her students under control and managed her classroom very well. I also noticed that the kids were much nicer to each other at Harrison. I mean, kids are kids and they're going to 'tattle tale' on each other here and there but at Hehnly, none of the kids shared and didn't played well with each other either. I was a bit disappointed but this is a learning experience and now I really see the difference between these two 2 school districts. It's funny because I thought my experience was going to be the other way around and that I would like Clark better. To my surprise, I found myself thinking of how my first graders at Harrison were doing on yesterday's gorgeous Halloween day.
