Crazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What a week is this one going to be!! We are having another department meeting. "Important items to discuss" (we just had one) I have already been advised that I need to attend GA.CTE this summer as well as the GPS roll outs. We are having our spelling bee tomorrow evening, tomorrow my 3rd year students start their clinical shadowing at the hospital and we have HOSA competition. I feel CRAZY and OVERWHELMED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I know that I must take in a deep breath and exhale s-l-o-w-l-y. I am not a drinking woman, but let me tell you I am about there!!!! Any advise from those of you who have taught longer than me? oh yeah! that's all of you! I promise I am still sane. The 10-13 has not been signed.....yet.
Breathe! I feel your frenzy. We've all been there. I wish I did have advice for you, but all I can say is "this too shall pass". Just get through this crazy week knowing that spring break is almost here.
ReplyDeleteEster, Remember that GACTE is not mandatory. If you are not yet a member it will cost you near to $200.00 which YOU have to pay, the school does not it for you. GACTE is similar to skills you pay this high fee each year without getting your money"s worth.The only good thing is when you are making up your POW it look 's good on the form.
ReplyDeleteEsther, I am crazy and looney-tunes too! Yes, this too shall pass. But we need a bottle of wine!
ReplyDeleteSoon.....
i have been told long before i got into teaching i needed a 10-13...I'll sign yours if you will sign mine!!!!
ReplyDeleteHaving worked at a state mental institution for 16 years, I am well aware of what a 10-13 is. I hope it does not come to that, but if it does, call me. I know people who know people. Ok. I don't really know anybody, but I would pray for you! Hang in! Only a few weeks to go!
