    I went to school today!

    Today was the first day I've set foot in my school since the end of the school year. We interviewed two teachers today. There were something like 8 of us on the committee, and we were all a bit giggly. The principal thinks something's up. . . just happy to be out for the summer, I suppose.

    I got to go to my room today--to drop off my four boxes of 10 cent spiral notebooks I got at Wal-Mart yesterday. They've already waxed my floors, and I found the custodians before I left. They said I could get to my room anytime between now and NEXT Sunday.

    Next week I have in-service for three days--Monday through Wednesday, so I think while I'm in the "school vibe" I'll head to school and get my room ready for the year. I hate waiting until the last minute to get my stuff ready.

    The last day we were at school, we were all trying to get a schedule made . . . but we had too many people trying to do a job for two people. I'm going to call the main math person on our team and see if she wants to come to work one of the two days next week when I'm going to be at school anyway. We can get the job done a lot faster without all the "help".

    That is surely a sin, visiting school during the summer...

    A sin? Working at a self-contained school we have summer school 6 weeks of it. I've been off for 3 and they waxed my floor during that time so I've already been back to set up my room for this coming monday. Please think of me while you are enjoying the weather outside and I'm in the building trying to convince 6 teenage boys to pay attention to me not the beautiful day outside!

    Going Tomorrow

    My "room mate" (the one I've been married to for 45 years) told me that WE are going to hers tomorrow to set up her new room.
    She teaches "night high school" for kids that had to quit for some reason and this year, she has a new building and a new room. SHE is excited - I'm already tired ..... hehehehehe

    I just wish I knew what I was doing next year. I am either the academic coach and will be moving from my room to set up and run various programs in the building and work with another building on getting their curriculum straightened out, or I will be a sixth grade teacher again.

    Two totally different jobs and I am in limbo. This blows. I go into my room a lot to work on my course work. No ten moth old there forcing me away from my studies to draw on the sidewalk with his four year old brother, while he tried to eat the chalk.

    Good man.

    I expect two things of my husband during my annual classroom setup.

    1. The use of his Jeep.
    2. "Yes, dear."

    Me too! I may be moving schools. I currently commute, but I'm trying to get hired in the town where we live. They just had a teacher retire, so there's an opening. I'm just not sure yet if the opening will be for 1st grade (it's been 2 yrs. since I taught that) or 4th grade (what I currently teach). The opening depends on some shuffling of teachers, but there is an opening nonetheless. The principals come back next week, and I've already been in contact with them. Here's hoping!
