The summer is here and I have sooo much to do...

Well, I am now on summer holidays. I am finding it difficult to relax and not plan for next year. I went to Kelowna to visit my brother and his wife with mom and Mindy. I found I relaxed for awhile, but was a pretty big bitch...

I am back and again am faced with the need to get my stuff together for next year. Will it ever end?

And the year trudges along

Well, I am still kicking, still teaching. I am having a complete blast, but also huge challenges. I am constantly frustrated by time being taken away from my instructional time when I am already at a loss for time due to teaching split classes. I am feeling huge guilt as I feel my diploma students are going to suffer due to this lack of time. It does not seem fair that I have no control over this....

I am considering decoupaging desks in my class. I love doing "projects" with my Junior High students that is not available for my time crunched High School students. Someday I hope to get it all together...LOL

1st Semester draws to a close as do the holidays

Well I am drawing to a close with my first semester of teaching. Everything went so quickly. I at least now know the things I would do differently and the things I would continue...The students seemed to gain a lot of knowledge with watching Gandhi...

I am worrying about my future. Fred does not want to move East(where my school is) and I only am .75 and it seems to me that that is all it will ever be. SO I guess I will need to search out other options. I do find it frustrating to not be making any money(my income pays for the childcare and my gas, and then we end up paying for me working there as oil chnges and wear and tear is costing us money=I pay to work in my school).

I am also a bit behind in the planning mode. I will need to tighten my ship to start keeping up...I am anal.LOL
