After a morning filled with analyzing and trying to comprehend our new teacher evaluation system, Teachscape and then spending the afternoon going over the SGO's I developed last Spring and trying to now recreate assessments for them (because what I thought I was going to use is not going to work. So, it's back to the drawing board this weekend. I have to start my pre-assessments next Friday and have them done by the end of the month) and then stopping (for what I thought was going to be a couple of minutes) at my 3d-5th grade school just to make sure everything was in place for the first day of school tomorrow. A few minutes turned into two hours! One thing led to another and after that another came up! They were locking the doors behind myself and a few of my colleagues! I am mentally EXHAUSTED!!!
Picked up pizza on the way home for supper, (because I am so not cooking supper tonight) sitting down for a couple of minutes to decompress and then it is time to start creating seating charts for my eight classes tomorrow... Not going to bed until I'm done! I am looking forward to seeing all my old students and meeting my new ones as well! :)
Oh no not the way to start the school year all tired out, thank goodness the weekend is near.
ReplyDeleteGood luck,

Day one down! It was a good day! One of the 3d grade teachers stopped by to tell me something one of her kids said, she asked the class at the end of the day what their favorite thing was about going to ( our 3d-5th grade ) School... one of her students said the best thing about being in the 3d-5th grade school was that they still got to see Mrs.C ! ( OHHH!!! Big smile on my face!!! ) That made my day!!! :)
