Mysterious Teaching

Insights behind the perils of being a teacher

The new school year has begun!

We had our first  teacher day today.  My 30 minute drive took me an hour and a half.  They are re-paving the road out there.  I was barely moving for over 45 minutes!  I didn't mind.  My first meeting wasn't until 9:00.  I got there ten minutes before it started.  Whoa!  I guess I will be leaving earlier Monday.  I have a meeting at 7:30.  And so it goes.

All the rest of my stuff was delivered to my room.  I need to make the guys some cookies for that.  Now comes the challenge of sorting and tossing.  There are almost no shelves and absolutely NO cabinets.  I don't know where I am going to store the stuff I want to keep.  My house is small and I don't have room here either.  Besides, it would take me  at least 15 trips to bring it home in my car (It is little too).  What to do?  I will have a huge give-away!  I will get rid of anything I don't want or don't use.  That should work.  It will also outfit the new Professional Resource Center we are going to have.  I seem to be bent on buying resources all the time.  We can share them now.

I am going to have to get busy.  We have Parent Night next Friday.  And meetings all week.  I will be spending a lot of time after school sitting on my classroom floor getting things sorted.  Oh, well.  That is the fun of the job.

I'm so ready for my first day.  It isn't until the 15th.  Without a job to go to everyday, I'm starting to lose track of the days of the week.  I am getting plenty of preparation done at home though.

About MysteryTeacher

I am 53 years old and have been teaching for 20 years this year. I have two daughters and two grandaughters and two son-in-laws, all of whom I adore. I love to travel with friends but I am now saving for retirement in about 14 years. I am becoming technologically educated. Since digital is the 21st century than I believe that teachers should too. We need to be educated enough to understand our students. I have a teaching degree, a masters degree, an ESL endorsement and a Gifted endorsement.
