I had the day off today, so I went to see my mentor teacher at J. Percy Page. The school is very spacious, and if she wasn't guiding me around, I'm sure I would have gotten lost. They have a lunchroom for math and science teachers at the east end of the school, where I met a few teachers. Then I went into my mentor teacher's classroom, which is a neat classroom because the lab benches are right there (no separate lab room required). We decided on my teaching assignments (Science 10 and Chemistry 20 and maybe Science 30) and then we went to the science prep room, where supplies and lab materials are kept, as well as work desks for the teachers. I was given my own desk! We then went to see the TeleLearning Centre and the library to visit the "textbook room", which is filled with textbooks for all subjects. She wouldn't let me have a worn-out copy of any textbooks, only ones in perfect condition.

Before I left, I was carrying, in addition to a notebook and the Science 10 program of studies, two textbooks, and two large binders filled with unit material. I weighed my load when I got home, and it was about 10 kg. This is with my shoulder bag, and my left shoulder was already hurtin'. Nonetheless, I managed to make it home in about 10 minutes.
