This, That and the Other...

• Got my grade for my summer Master's class. I made my 2nd B. Boo-hiss! But Kevin did remind me that this was a self-teach class where she gave assignments and said go at it. We had no guidance, and most of the final was copyright laws. URGH! That test was hard, and I could study for weeks and probably not do any better.
• My class next semester is on Saturdays from 8 to 4:30...get ready for some complaining! ha! It's only 6 times...it's only 6 times...that's what I have to keep repeating AND I only have 5 classes to go! :-)
• I have been working hard on my classroom. I moved some stuff around where it feels new to me. I just keep thinking in the back of mind, "It's gonna suck when they paint in a month, and I have to re-do this!" At first, they told us we would even have to empty out closets and cabinets, but now only if we want the insides painted. I am thinking what do I care what the inside of my cabinets and closet looks like? It's storage!! (Pictures to come soon of my finished room!!)
• We got our class list today. So far, I have only 19 kids on my list. That means I have room for four more. I hope I get them in the next few days, because I'd rather start with them than have them enter later in the year. Teachers, you know what I mean? It's harder to get them into the routines and stuff.
• Apparently this class may be a hand-full, so I may have some stories to tell this year. I don't know, I have a hard time going by kids past experiences because sometimes they have trouble with one teacher and not another. They also mature a bit from year to year. And, I'm sorry, but I can't help but think that a bad class at this school is NOTHING compared to where I was teaching!! I am only listening to positive comments about my class list. I prefer to start fresh...now, if I'm pulling my hair out in a few weeks, remind me of my optimism toward my new class! LOL!
