First week of school 2008/2009 Year
Well here it is August 8, 2008; the Olympics are starting tonight, I finished the first week of school this year and had the first happy hour of the year. Things are definitely different this year at the Prep. There is a new Principal and a new Vice Principal. There are fewer students, but I have more kids in each class than last year, and we there are 5 longer classes this year (last year there were 6 classes a day).
True, that means I only teach four classes a day, but each class is an hour and 15 minutes this year, and like I said I have more students this year. I am getting very involved this year as well, I am a mentor to the new seventh grade math teacher, I am the Math Department Chair, I am on the committee that oversees if a child needs to be moved to remedial classes, I am testing coordinator co-chair and I am on the School Improvement Plan committee. Whew! I'm tried already.
At least this year I will know what is going on and be a part of the decision making. Not too mention some of those posts pay me.
So far no great surprises this year. I know somewhere at sometime a kid will do something crazy and I will have to blog about it. Or a co-worker will do something, can't ignore the crazy teachers. I will do my best to keep the blog up to date.
