Ok... so while I love getting hugs, warm fuzzies, drawings, etc from my kiddos... the one thing I HATE getting from them is GERMS. Lots of our kiddos were absent last week, some of which went home from school sick... so with all the stress I guess I wasn't that surprised that it hit me hard. Thursday I taught back to back lessons at the end of the day and by the time the kids were going home I had an awful headache. Well then we had a meeting and a make-up parent-teacher conference, and by 5:00 I told Sharla I had to leave. Driving home was a test of will not to throw up... and I made it home and back out to the park (poor Sherlock really had to go!) before I lost it. Sorry park-garbage collector :( So I didn't go to school on Friday... just was miserable, slept, and did some laundry.
Luckily I felt mostly all better by Saturday morning and I was up early and very productive (finished my big project which is due Tuesday) so I was able to cross that off my list. This morning I got up and met Sharla at a coffee shop downtown where we went over the plans for this week because:
Monday - I have an interview with the district (not my first choice, but you never know...) and then a pre-observation conference with the principal.
Tuesday - I am taking over writing for the rest of the week (and my project is due, but its done!)
and have a meeting with my CC advisor about how my first formal lesson went (last Tuesday)
Wednesday - I am taking over math for the first time and being formally observed in writing by my CC person
Thursday - I will be teaching the entire afternoon for the first time: math, writing, and science
Friday - I will be formally observed by the principal of my school in writing
I feel like I have a good handle on the preparation... the endurance is what I am worried about. Luckily the week after that is only Monday and Tuesday and then I will be headed to the rents house for a big Mommy-Thanksgiving-Dinner :)
So right now I'm off to enjoy an afternoon hike with my puppy dog (he has been very patient with me feeling poopy, so I promised him a good long romp this afternoon) and this evening I will be finalizing my lesson plans. So if you have time in your busy lives this week.... send some good thoughts my way! Lets hope I make it through Friday!! :)
