Well another month has passed since a blog update. I feel like I say every month is crazy, so the reason April is crazy is because it is the month of STAAR testing. Usually, the 5th grade math test is at the beginning of April or end of March. This year though, it was on Monday, April 20th. So the month was dedicated to getting in the rest of our curriculum, and planning a thorough review of the TEKS. Once the testing was over, we had a professional development day, and I got to meet the staff at my new school!
I continue to go between sad and excited about the change happening in my career. I have started organizing things in my classroom and moving the things I don't need for the rest of this year. So far I have just moved all of my books out, which was a lot. My colleague Cynde is letting my store my things in her guest bedroom closet until our building is open. Again, I am sad to leave the people and the place I have called home for 3 years, but excited to have a new facility and new opportunities.
I am typing up this blog post on a plane to San Francisco right now. I thought I had homework that was due, so I paid the $8 for wireless internet, but then when I logged in it turns out I DONT have homework due until May 10th. So I guess I better get my $8 worth!
My friend Melissa and I will be in San Francisco tonight, April 30th through Sunday, May 3rd, and then we get to wake up and go to school on Monday, May 4th! This is a much needed trip that we planned about 6 weeks ago, as we knew we would both need it after the STAAR craziness. After we booked out flight to SFO, within 24 hours we saw flights for Washington D.C. for $108 roundtrip on Southwest. How do you NOT take advantage of that?! Melissa and I will definitely stay travel buddies.
Stay tuned for a San Francisco blog! One of these days I will get around to finishing my New York Blog and my Las Vegas Blog.
