2 weeks into summer

-

 So first, I can't believe that 2 weeks has already passed. WTF????? I started seriously working on next year yesterday and I think I'm just in my own way. I want to use a new curriculum, but I have the choice of 2 and I don't know which to use. Both are storyline driven, which is good. The first unit for one is about global warming, always a good topic, and the other one is about alien life, one of my favorite topics. I can't decide what to use and I want to have the curriculum basically laid out for when I return to school. I hate when I get this paralyzing feeling over planning. It's ridiculous. I know how to do this, I've been doing it for 13 years. But still I tend to panic just a little. I once again wonder if I'm trying to do too much. I want to do the notebooks that I attempted last year and a new curriculum. Too much? I don't think so. I worked on the notebooks all year and have a pretty good idea of how to get them going. Also, starting right at the beginning of the year will definitely help with that. As for the new curriculum, I'm starting to rethink that. Should I just stick with the modeling that I know? I will still need to do work because that curriculum feels very sparse, like things are missing. So no, I want to try something else. I think I'll keep working on it this week and see how it goes. Yesterday I worked on the Patterns curriculum, maybe I'll take a deeper look into the iHub chemistry. That is mainly focused on being online, but I can alter is some. Okay, that's the plan.

I had also thought of going to standard based grading. I think that may be taking on a little more than I can handle. But I am going to work on that. Maybe do that for next year. 

Okay, I have a doctor's appointment and I still need to shower.

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...
