tail end of my crazy half-week
Okay the final part of this crazy ride haha
The principal finally came in to see me to watch me teach but only got the last 5-10 minutes of my eighth grade class, which was nothing. That was Thursday. Keep in mind, my room situation is still up in the air and I just kinda shift around. Friday comes around and she pops her head in to my seventh grade class in the afternoon and is all "I really want you to come back next week."
I ask her if we can talk during my free block next period bc this is ridiculous. She's like sure.
So I go into her office and we talk. I show her the documents I still needed along with the lesson plan I made for FIFTH grade and stuff. She tells me she wants to hire me and that I'm pretty much hired, just not sure of what position yet - either the 6-8 math teacher or 6-8 math interventionist (I'd pull out kids and work with them one on one). She can't decide until her and the other 2 members of the hiring committee see me teach. Which, fine.
Except? I have no access to any resources - books, teachers editions, laptop, projector, powerpoints, lesson plans, email - ANYTHING and I'm teaching this week. Meaning I have to create lesson plans and stuff without knowing what's happening. Thankfully there are 2 other teachers that teach 6-8 and one of them lent me her plans, except I don't have access to the powerpoint and book or WAY to show that powerpoint but I guess we'll figure that out tomorrow.
Plans for today: grade the pre-assessments, organize some way to organize the classes, make a list of stuff I need from the admin, figure out what I'm teaching/how, make a behavior plan so the kids aren't crazy, make 3 syllabi
Plans for this week: organize 'my' room (it's FILLED with textbooks that haven't been passed out yet), get access to resources, create lesson plans, get clocking in/out access, so many other things I can't think of
So the upside is, yay job. The only problem is that I don't know which one. I think it might be teacher 'cause they've gotta be desperate, but I might end up doing ALL THIS WORK for someone else :/
I came home at 3:30 last night after a night of playing cards with my family and just dropped into bed. Here's to hoping I make it through the day!
Comments will DEFINITELY be answered today, promise! Just have to make the time.
