Looks like we made it......

Today is the last day before spring break. Yes, yes yes!!!! I cannot wait for this day to be over. One of the best things is that when we return we go back to our old schedule, 7:30 - 3:00. For this entire year we have been running until 3:30 because of the way a law was interpreted by some regulator somewhere. The powers that be have been working to get that wording changed so that it was unambiguous. It finally happened!!! So that is going to be good. It's only half an hour, approximately 10ish minutes per class, but man that makes the day long. It really does. So much can happen between 3-4 that just doesn't get done after 3:30. No one wants to stay at school until 4:30 or 5 getting things done. You can stay until 4 or 4:30, somehow that is much easier. Anyway, when we return we will be back to normal. Yay!!!!!

I've been giving biology a test yesterday and today and chemistry is doing a lab. Things that make my life easier. I do have to grade the tests, but that's okay. I will get that done over break. They also have to turn in an assignment that goes with the test and that is due on Sunday. 

I'm going to sit down and make a plan this morning on what I'm going to do over my break. I have things I want to get done and I've fallen into the trap of putting them off until the last minute. Not this break. I'm going to create a schedule, albeit a flexible one, and follow it so that things get done. Imagine if I have everything all planned out and just have to look at the lesson plan for the remainder of the year? How nice would that be? I also want to get some hikes in, at least hikes that my knee will tolerate, so I want to make time for them. And then the gym. I want to make the gym a regular  place over the break. So today will be about planning the break and also gathering what I need to get work done over the break. It won't be all work over the break. I want to take a day trip somewhere, need to look that up. I want to make some progress on this room - it still drives me crazy. And I need some down time and time for me. But the key is to have a plan and some goals. If left to my own devices I will do nothing for days and then on Sunday try to get it all done. Do not want to do that. 

But for now, I need to get ready for school and get this final day over with.

Going in too many directions????

I'm having trouble organizing my lessons. There are a number of technology things that go with my lessons. I am trying to use Planbookplus to create my lesson plans: Which is great but has its limitations. So I thought I would keep all of my files in One Note so I could have access anywhere. That will be good but it is almost like creating lesson plans all over again. Then I have a class blog where things need to be uploaded and offered to the kids. As a result of trying all three of these things, I have completed nothing. All of them are half done and we have just completed the 2nd full week of school. I tried an external hard drive and thought that would be a good way to do it. It has proven to be more of a nightmare than a help. Ugggggggghhhhhhhhhhh!!!! What to do???? How do I organize all the electronic information I have???? How do I keep track of things and not make myself crazy??????? So that is my struggle this weekend. I am going to complete one or tw...

We teachers returned to school on July 24th and the students returned on August 2nd. That means we had the kids 2 days last week, Wednesday and Thursday. And it went well. This year I had to revamp my classroom management system and I think I have something that will work for me. Let me explain; My first 7 years of teaching was at private schools. Even though these private schools were at the lower financial end of the spectrum and most of our students were on financial aid, they were nevertheless private school students. Classroom management was not a huge priority as these students did their work and listened and were respectful and all that stuff. So my classroom management was a little lax because it didn't need to be really strict and tough. Well, now I'm at a public school. And in spite of the fact that this is a charter school and parents have to go out of their way to send their students here, it is still a public school. Last year I handled my classroom management l...

The ongoing theme of this blog has been organization. I've been teaching for 9 years, but I haven't found a way to organize my stuff that works really, really well for me. Every single year, I struggle finding things I know I have or recreating the wheel because I've forgotten I have something. So I've been working really, really hard to get organized once and for all with a system that works for me. I know that I need to have things written/printed and at my fingertips in order to make good use of them. If I have to go online and look it up it won't happen. I've played around with binders and didn't really use them after I set them up. The last 2 years I did find great success with planners. I would divide the day up into my classes - 4 each day - and jot notes on what was to happen that day. That worked great!! As long as I planned ahead. Too many days I would get to school and the planner was blank. That left me scrambling to figure out what I'm t...
