August 17, 2010

Today was our last day at work before students come to school. We the whole morning until 12:30 in a staff meeting. So far I do really like our principal. It seemed like a productive meeting, I just wish it hadn't taken so long.

I went with some co-workers to Oscar's for lunch. I don't think I'll go there anymore. Both times I've been there, they've been incredibly slow. It made me late for an appointment I had with my new principal.

I just wanted to talk with her one on one for a short time to just get to know each other a little more. I enjoyed our talk. I think we got a better feel for each other. I am nervous, anxious and a little excited for her to visit my classroom. I hope whatever is going on when she comes in is fun to watch.

I did not get my classroom done as well as I would like, but it is presentable for students. I'm a little stressed that my planning period is first thing in the morning this year. I will have to figure out how to make it work because I understand that we all have to have our turn at crappy planning period times. This year is my turn. I'm sure I can figure out how to make it work, but I wish I didn't have to.

I was at work until 6:00 p.m. tonight. Then, I went to the park to get Michaela. We went out to O'Fallon to get her clarinet. I plan on making sure she practices more than she did with her violin. After all, now it's for a grade. I hope she continues to enjoy it.
