TGIF
This was one of most challenging weeks yet - not with my students, but with myself. I have been fighting this yuk and crud sickness thing - like most of you I am sure, but I was unable to stay home a get better like I wanted too. I don't want to sound like I am whining, but I really had to dig deep down inside to actually NOT call a sub this week. I guess I would have if it wasn't crunch time for me. Thursday was pretty much a stressful day - I was having my first observation since starting NTI with Dr. B, Murray Co. schools were touring our school and my program was spotlighted and I had a meeting to set up a field trip for 120 students. WOW - that was a lot for me. Well, let me say that today is Friday and I'm alive and still writing the BLOG, so I am sure you know that I survived. But, I really discovered something about myself...I can teach ( my observation went well), my program is designed really well (Murray CO. loved my program) and finding buses, printing consent forms, and arranging schedules for 120 high school students IS possible. I made it and may I say TGIF.
I'm glad that your week went well. Aren't Fridays wonderful!
