Week one is gone already. This week was just teachers, with lots of meetings and classroom prep time. It is nice to have some paid days to do that. In Indiana we had one paid workday at the beginning of school and one at the end the rest was donated time. Here we still have to donate a lot of time but at least we do get some compensation for it. Thursday we had parent orientation so I got to meet some of the parents and students. It seems like a good group. This year I am starting out with 22 students in my home room and my second reading class has 24 in it, that should keep me busy. My classroom is pretty well ready but I havent made one single plan yet, so guess what Im doing this weekend...lesson plans. First week shouldnt be too bad, I have several back to school activities that I can use. Geez can anyone say ramble? Im definitely just rambling.
My mom called earlier. She wanted to know if I was ok because she hadnt heard from me in "months" My mother was stretching it a bit, it had been a couple of weeks but not months. I told her I had had a rough couple of weeks and felt depressed, I never call home when I feel like that because Id probably end up packing my bags and going home.
Well I had better go try to get some planning done tonight. Ill let you know how the first student week goes.
