pamelonianToday I reported back to work and picked up my (FIVE!) work keys. I am in 5 different classrooms during my school day. I will get my workout moving from place to place, for sure.
We may be starting the year without computer network access because they installed those nifty projectors in the ceilings, but the job is behind schedule. We have these wires that hang from the projector to the floor right in the middle of the room. That should be fun to work around.
They installed the projector pointing THE WRONG WAY so Superteacher and I spent a lot of time figuring out how to rearrange the room to allow the kids to see the screen at (what used to be) the back of the room. It is not a simple task, since we need our desks and filing cabinets to be near the computer hookups at opposite corners of the room.
Tomorrow I am in Inservice training ALL day. No time to work on preparing for the actual arrival of students, which is Thursday. Wednesday will be taken up by meetings throughout the day and I have to leave early for my hair appointment. (Priorities, you know?) I may have to (*gasp*) do some work at home.
This year I plan to dedicate myself to improving my teaching, incorporating what I have learned, and using all that fun technology. I should have the energy for it since I will not be taking near as many night classes. I plan to take online classes and one Saturday class only, as well as cut back my aikido participation. I can do this!
