Well, I just realized that I was using the wrong date...all day long...That may be one of the worst things today...well that and the AC in my classroom isn't working...Today marks the first day of my 30th year teaching AND it was the best first day ever! I KNEW this year was going to be GREAT!
Got to Facetime with TJ - oof I miss that kid! Mary ASKED if we could watch a show together!
I
am
so
tired
Mary and Connor started school last Wednesday. We moved TJ into his house on Friday. Was tired all of Saturday and Sunday. I start back to work today - starting year 30! I both love and hate the beginning. It's exciting and new which I love but there is so much work at the beginning. I'm nervous this year that I have 21 students. I've completed my coursework for the summer and now await the grading. I've 100% on everything so far...but this group project...I don't know...I'm nervous about it. I've seen the syllabus for my next class and I'm already overwhelmed...send good vibes!
Oh dear, seems I got caught up in all things summer and then all things back to school and back to work. Summer was meh. I regret teaching summer school and I won't be doing that again. Summer family fun time was reduced significantly this summer due to three people's work schedules. Oh well. Mary started her sophomore year of high school. Connor started 8th grade. TJ took off this week and moves into his house tomorrow. I've been working in my classroom and feel really good about where I am in preparations. I'm set for 21 students. Coursework is going well and I see another A in my future. I'm excited to wrap up this class (Teachers as Leaders) and start my concentration classes in gifted education. Will try to post more often.
