Here is some information about my new school! I am assigned to a 4th-5th grade split class at Larrabee Elementary School. Their upper grades participate in an amazing "collaborative specialist" model. There are 3 teachers that part of the 3rd grade and all the 4th and 5th graders rotate through, one teaches science, one math, and one technology and literacy. It really works amazingly well because all three teachers (4 if you count the social studies teacher who takes the math slot one day a week) are in constant collaboration. They are all backing each other up, and making connections with learning that is happening in the other portables. The upside for me is that all three are specialists in their area and superb teachers with tons of experience.

There are about 190 students and I think 9 teachers, so it is a small school, but so far everyone has been VERY supportive of myself and the other 2 post-baccs placed there. Here is a picture of one of the three portables that house the collaborative model classes:
