Really, things are OK.Lesson plans not going as planed. I guess it should be expected, especially at the beginning of the year. I want to push harder, but afraid that the border-line students will drop. Still, I have to pick up the pace next week. I posted a tentative schedule, with the lesson exam on the 19th. Even though it is two weeks behind schedule, I think it is OK, as I still do not have enough books and workbooks for everyone. Also, the 1st mid-quarter ends on the 22nd.
One drop, and in my opinion, it was due to laziness, or fear of too much work. I have another who is really on the border (parent meeting next week). I also have a couple of students with real medical issues. I am not sure if these students will be able to keep up (another meeting).
I am recognizing those students who are super competitive and those who are rather lax. In addition, a couple of behavioral issues- but not too bad. Still, they surround the same students.
I posted a couple of proposals on DonorsChoose.org a few months ago. I received notice that my proposal for Spanish books for the library is going to be funded. Very exciting.
FB study hall going OK. Still issues, but I'm beginning to gain more of a grasp on particular students. I have a couple of the 8th grade players help me with attendance so I can go around and make sure that everyone has work to do.
I stayed for the game on Wednesday, mainly working security.
There was an increase in my paycheck, but I am not sure if it was only the second-year salary or if it included the FB study hall pay.
I met six parents at the HS Open House on Thursday. I expected as much. I'm sure the JHS Open House will be more successful. I stayed for a bit afterwards, seeing a few past students and parents.
We held the first F.L.I.C. meeting on Friday. Mostly Spanish students, with a few French, and a couple of German. We'll see. I am running it with Hartford and we'll just have to see how it goes.
Otherwise....
Morning gym schedule working, whereas afternoon is not. Perhaps I am just too busy, not to mention tired. If I am going to drop this weight, I need to begin weight-training workouts.
Fell asleep on the sofa last night.
Another weekend with a long list of TTDs.
Last weekend, David and I played a bit- over a year. Interesting.
