(via icanread) my daily mantra.. just get through this day.. with these kids.. it will get better.. soon i hope.
getting ever so slightly better.
Things are getting SLIGHTLY better at work. At least I’m starting to feel a wee bit competent. Don’t worry, i’m sure the feeling of imcompetence will somehow rear it’s ugly head at the beginning of next week. I’m planning on doing a lesson planning marathon tomorrow and possibly tonight, so i think once i’m more than 1 day ahead with lessons I’ll feel better.
The assistant principal told me the other morning that the principal is impressed with me. i hope that continues. I made a point to answer his questions intelligently and ask an intelligent question during our department meeting on Wednesday. So I think that is why.
I’ve also already made parent phone calls and have some parents on board. I have little leverage at this school as far as discipline since there is no detention, but really, if i have to call a parent every 2 days to enforce behavior in school i will. i’m already on it!
ahhhhh!!!
Too much to do! WAY too much.. and just as i was feeling completely comfortable, confident, and ready to excel at Wyndham Lawn, what do i do? leave?.. ugh! Now i feel completely over my head, out of my element, irritated, overworked.. oh and really well paid.. yeah, well paid.
that helps make up for it all.. =)
?
Announcement!!!!!
I just accepted a job with the Buffalo Public Schools!!!!
I go in to fill out paperwork on Monday, and start on Tuesday!!
Found out today at 11am that it was my last day at Wyndham Lawn…=)
tired.. but happy..
So i’ve been back to work since Tuesday, the same day the girls went back to school.. it’s been going really well and we are in a really good routine. I’m just tired!!! i am SO not used to this after 3 weeks off.. and i really did not have that great of a routine with them last year since my life was all wonky for a while.
Anyway, things have been good, have been doing cleaning routines as well, as per FlyLady, and my life is feeling very good, organized, and useful..
First day of school..
I am teaching way too many classes this year, filled to the limits of the classroom by too many students. It is overwhelming.. and tiring.. I feel so insanely exhausted today. Overall, it was a good day. No major issues in school or at home, but i’m sleepy. I hope i get used to it soon. Wish me luck!
