2:00p.m. Let's recap:
Week 1 Goals:
Today I want to accomplish:
a) student letter to welcome students - Currently in progress, still not complete/satisfied. Perhaps I just need to stop looking at samples and just finish it up. Get it to a Staples and copy it.
b) materials list- Haven't touched whatsoever -- Seems like a quick win...
c) copy of student schedule - Haven't touched yet...but worked on it on Friday. Another quick win.
d) behavior management system - monopoly themed - Nope...
e) homework policy - 5%
In addition to the above, I've been working on my Back to School Powerpoint. Thankfully I have last year's Open House as a template.
Revised Week 1 Goals:
1. Quick Wins:
a) Copy of Student Schedule
b) Student Roster
c) Identification of SPED students
d) Student word search
2. Drafts in Progress - Final Copy Needed by Tonight
a) Behavior Management System
b) Student Letter to welcome students
c) Back to School Presentation
d) Materials List Draft
3. Long-term Projects - Drafts in Progress
a) Class Website

A bit M.I.A. #afreshstart
I'm baaaaack.
Ok, now that I sound super creepy...just want to say hello again.
I'm starting a new chapter in my career.
Starting my 4th year teaching and after spending 3 years on the Southwest side of Chicago, I've moved on up to the Lakeview neighborhood on the North side.
Before that sounds completely bougie of me, it is a CPS magnet school that buses students in from the South and West of Chicago, so needless to say it still has a lot of South/West side problems.
Tomorrow's the first day and it's time to get to work.
It's a bit rough looking to get started since it's pretty gloomy here -- I often use sunlight in the office to get me going.
So, let's start with some ' Beginning of the Year': Week 1 goals
Week 1 Goals:
Today I want to accomplish:
a) student letter to welcome students
b) materials list
c) copy of student schedule
d) behavior management system - monopoly themed
e) homework policy
I think that's a pretty good start for now.
