We have a program called Early Start where we bring the 9th graders back early for a two week period. That’s great for me, as it allows me to ease into the school year.
I have a half day of training tomorrow, a probably half day of teacher workday on Wednesday and we start with the kids next week. They will be at school from 9:00 am until 1:00 pm each day, and they will be feed breakfast and lunch. We will be there Monday through Thursday, so I still have a lot of the day off, and Friday’s. Already have one of those Friday’s planned.
It went really well last year. It allowed me a great deal of time in my room which I needed. I’m anxious to see what the building is like as I have not set foot in the building since June. We’re supposed to have new HVAC which we can control ourselves.
I spent the last two weeks – and two weeks of this week – getting ready to teach Webmastering. I’m going to start reviewing my online courses and getting things ready for the first six weeks.
I really recommend an ease back in. It was really nice last year, and you don’t get hit so hard between working and not working.
Oh, and I still need to do some ACP work – however, I haven’t gotten paid for my June work so I haven’t been very motivated.
So this summer was a lot easier than last summer – though I would have loved to do a summer camp again this year. Need to work on that.
Oh, and one note – I did have contact with administration a couple of weeks ago. One of our parents is suing the district and they wanted more documentation. <sigh>
