I cannot change…
October 15, 2008
…the fact that I am a procrastinator. I always have been, always will be. I left the planning for next week until the absolute last minute (it’s my week to plan for all three of the third grade teachers) and now I’m feeling very overwhelmed. I guess I have no right to complain.
What makes this confusing is that we missed two days this week: one for a pupil-free day, and one because of the fire. Every week, we focus on a new story in our book and have a test on Friday. Well, I was told to “stretch this week’s story to next week and we will test next Friday”. Well, hello, I’m a NEW teacher and have no idea how to “stretch” out anything…. I have enough trouble just straight planning a week! Oh, and I’m supposed to plan for science, social studies, and math too, which they always COPY from LAST YEAR’S schedule!!! Apparently they wanna see if mine matches theirs. BS!!!!! Ugh. Someone shoot me.
