Slice of Life hosted by
This is the first week this summer that I have not been writing, reading books, or spending much time on my computer.
Two reasons for this.
One: I spent some time with my sister, sister-in-law, daughter and niece in Tennessee visiting my youngest sister. We had a great time and it was great to get away. They have a no tax weekend and we shopped til we dropped!
Two: The size of my class this year is unbelievable. I received student number 37 yesterday. No, that is not a typo.
Thirty-seven.....30 + 7...3 tens and 7 ones...can you tell I also teacher math!
We start school on Friday, and that is when they will decide whether or not to hire a third teacher. So, needless to say this week has been very hectic trying to decide what to do and what to wait on. I have to believe that they will do what is best for students and hire another teacher.
I wrote a poem last week about Back-to-School Insomnia that I am sharing this week as my slice.
Hopefully next week I can get back to writing and reading...I miss it!
Good luck! We have a class size amendment which makes that a nonissue in most of our classes! My daughter will be starting 4th grade this year! I hope her teacher will be leading via her reading and writing example. B2S Insomnia is definitely a shared teacher issue! Mine starts next week.
ReplyDeleteI hope your district does create a new class, 37 should be a crime. I loved your poem, too often I had the same issues. Thankfully I am retired now, but at times those old habits seem to creep back during the night. Have a great year!
ReplyDeleteOh, I do hope they hired that third teacher!
ReplyDeleteCurrently at 36 but there is a meeting tomorrow....I am keeping my fingers crossed!
