Enjoying fall break

-
 A road trip up north to the town of Sedona. The town itself was not that great, way too touristy, but the scenery is amazing.
 More of the scenery around Sedona.
The desert sunset on our way home. It was a long day with a whole lot of driving, but it was fun.


As nice as it is to get away, it is always good to come home. In my case, it was home to planning. I've got AP Biology and AP Chemistry sketched out until Christmas. Not bad. I am trying something new. Instead of making elaboate plans with all kinds of details, I'm just doing a bare bones plan. The way I work is very spontaneous anyway. I walk into my class and go, okay, what am I teaching today, then run with the topic. So I'm fleshing out the weeks one at a time instead of planning so far ahead I forget what I'm doing. It sounds like it will work well with the way I work, so I'm willing to give it a go.
I have to go in today to do some grading. I have a whole pile of tests from 3 different classes that need to be graded. I also have some other grades to enter and I want to get them done before the weekend. I spent a couple of hours last night tossing and worrying about them. Time to just handle it and get them off my mind. I have a feeling that what I need to do will take more than 1 day and I don't want to either be there for 10 hours or not get it all done. We were supposed to go on a short road trip today, but I decided that I needed to work instead.
I just remembered that I agreed to be in a fashion show next week. It's being put on by the student council for homecoming week. I completely forgot about it. I have to come up with something to wear. Yikes!!!! I had planned on not spending any more money for a while, guess that's out the window. Unless I can come up with something from my wardrobe that would work. I do have a couple of Hawaiian dresses, but I'm not sure they will fit. Hmmmm, may have to check that out.
Well, that's all I have to say. Fall break is halfway over and I need to start switching into work mode again.

A lot has happened

 After my last post, I sat and went through the modeling curriculum and worked out that I was in Unit 6 of modeling. No worries, I just jumped right in. We did a lab, always a good way to start things, and next week we work on naming compounds - that should be fun. Anyway, the point is I feel much more comfortable with the curriculum. I know what I'm doing and I'm able to guide them to the correct answers. We went back to whiteboards at the tables instead of the standing at the whiteboards. We presented and did a power clap and it was good. Classes went much smoother and I was much happier.  It really did wonders for my mental health too. I was not completely exhausted by the end of the day. I had energy when I got home. I actually felt like doing things. It was amazing. So I can conclude that my total exhaustion was most likely due to mental fatigue. Well, I'm sure starting working out again helped a lot.  So things are a whole lot better. I am taking next Monday off and I

1st day done

 Yesterday actually went very, very well. Initially I was worried how they would respond to the whole notebook thing, but they actually did pretty well. And 4th period??? OMG, that class was awesome. Absolutely awesome. A couple of students were moved out of that class and I had a very well thought out seating chart and man it made a huge difference. So that was good.  Now I was another story. I was so tired. Sooooooo tired. My feet hurt, my legs hurt, my back hurt. I was a wreck. Then I came home and had to walk Mavy, ugh!!!! I did get things done though so that was good. But man, I was tired. Slept like a log last night.  The great thing about block schedule is that I get to do all that again today. Yay!!! The problem is that I get better and  better at it, so by the time I get to my last class, which will be the 6th time I've done that, I will be good and we will finish early. So I have to watch that.  Other than that, things are good.

And we're back.....

 Today we are back to school. It's weird, this is my 13th year teaching and yet I still get the first day jitters. I kept waking last night and thinking about school today, usually things that could go wrong. It's just so funny that after all this time I still get nervous. Someone once said it's because I care and I guess that could be true. I do care about my teaching. It is something that I enjoy and take pride in and so yes, I care about how I do it and ultimately the outcome.  Today will be an easy day for them, and hopefully me. We are doing a sketchnote bootcamp. I want them to take ownership and pride in their notes and so we are going to spend the first day getting back into school and into sketchnoting. It will be good for most, but I know that I am going to get pushback from a few and that's okay, they can take the L when it comes to the notebook.  I'm not looking forward to the return only because it's work. We went to a friend's house yesterday f
