Work-a-holic

Today was the 3rd Saturday in a row that I went to the school. I was there from 10:30am-7pm. I had no idea it would take me that long to get things done. And yes I still have things to do. 

I swear I am not a crazy person. I have an evaluation from my principal coming up. Starting on Monday, my "window" is open for 2 weeks. In that "window" my principal will be coming in to sit in on my class for 45+ min. It is making my stomach churn as I type this. 

If he comes during my 3rd rotation I would just die. Those kids are my toughest group and I have them after they get back from Recess, CAMP, and lunch (yes all 3 in a row). At the end of the day these kids are crazy.   

Last week was a tough one. Here's why:

1. I have had serious allergy issues
2. Grades were due Friday
3. I realized we have a CBA in 2 weeks
4. Freaked out that my window was coming up
5. Had to plan for 2 weeks instead of 1
6. Had to re-do all my math stations
7. I have to go to way too many meetings

Let me make it very clear that I LOVE teaching. My job is awesome from 8am-3pm when I have children in my classroom. Its all this new administration business I am having to get used to. 

I may be going up to school tomorrow, but I am hoping that it will only be for an hour or so. I figured out how to check out a key and got the alarm code. There were other teachers there during the day, but after 4 I was alone and kept getting freaked out. 

Hope you are liking the blog make over. Notice I added a "Follow by e-mail" gadget so those that don't have a blogger can get minute to minute updates via email :) .
