FINAL BLOG POST - OUR "DAILY TRIPLE" (DUE 12/1).
This week I would like you to use your imagination. You have just won the lottery and will leave your teaching post immediately to travel around the world. As you leave your keys you meet your replacement. You are asked to give this new teacher just ONE piece of advice. What would that be, and why? Enjoy your world expedition!
Blog Post - Week 7
This past week in my own teaching I felt a little disconnected which prompts my question to you, "What was the moment (or moments) when I felt most disconnected or disengaged as a teacher - the moment(s) I said to myself, I'm just going through the motions here?"

Hey everyone
I hope everyone is doing fine and looking forward to the leisure drive to school. Been very busy because my principal has me doing administrative duties with the students. I appreciate his confidence, but my feet hurt! Miss you guys looking forward to seeing you all again.
Weekly Check-in
Hi Everyone,
Happy Monday to each of you and I hope all is going well. For some reason I am still confused. I have yet to get a complete understanding of the assignment nor where it can be found. I went to eChalk and registered only to receive a call from a salesperson (while I was at school). After reading the email from Dr. J today, I am even more lost as it relates to the feild assignment. Can anyone send me out a life preserver...or a Raft...or even the Coast Guard for a S&R mission??;) ~aj

Football Programs
I did not realize that a part of my duties here was to put out the football program. It nearly killed me. I worked so hard on that thing and to teach as well. It's over now and I made the deadline so I'm happy. The program was 96 pages and had over 100 ads in it. The school actually approved a sub for me because of all the work. I was pulling my advanced students away from other classes and working through lunch and at home until 3am. It was crazy.

Good Evening All
Good Evening All,
All is still going well and I am still as excited as ever. Everyday I am applying everything I learned in NTI. I can not believe I am conducting safety quizzes before a lab. YAY ME!!! and my students are excited about the opportunity. Well enough about me...uh can anyone tell me the homework/assignment? For the most part I am trying to stay afloat by checking in on a regular basis. Between this blog an the required one for my program I am getting a lot of extra practice. I wish everyone well an talk to you all soon.~aj

Assignment
Did anyone ever find the assigment? If you did will you please advise how and where you found it!
Thanks
Thanks
guest speaker
I had a guest speaker today from OSHA. He scared the kids to death(which was the intention) regarding safety. He had short video clips of bad accidents and still pics from accident scenes. He had great statictics to share. The kids in all five classes never muttered a word! Safety is just plain boring to listen too usually but this guy hit it out of the park. My admin stopped in to observe and was very impressed. A good day it was.............................Wood

???
Hey everyone!! Am I just clueless or what??? I looked yesterday and didn't see an assignment, but if it's to say "hey" to everyone, then "hey!" I'm into my second week now, and boy is it crazy!! Zelda you will be excited to know that I have already given "the eye" hahaha!!! It worked by the way. Ok...see all of you soon!
Class size??
Hi folks. Are any of you having problems with administration putting more kids in your class than is allowed. I am aware that Paulding county has asked for a waiver to put 35 kids in any class. I do not have the room for more than 28. Honestly, I don't think I can mange 35 kids in a shop setting. Well, more later. Thanks y'all,

New career---wow lots of work!
Hello everyone,
I hope everyone is off to a great start. I am the new teacher checking in. Wow. I am so prepared to managed the instructional part of my classroom but someone should have told me about all the administrative stuff that comes with it.
I don't feel overwelmed but I am off to bed late, up early, and doing some type of work nearly constantly. I think it's the new school, new teacher thing.
I am really, really enjoying the students and the classroom interactions.
Well enough said---I got more work to do before I go to be.
Chow!
