I can't catch up! Just when I thought I had these classes in hand and could finally catch up on the homework, I find myself rushing to the deadline in order to get my 92 hours for the NBC teacher 7.5% raise. I picked up yet another class by surprise and that pushed me back even further. I am hell bent on catching up this week, especially since one class is finishing up this week.
That said, class is going well....I just love this group and it's a joy to spend time with them, but that time is rapidly running out and there's all that work to do of giving OCR tests, doing the fluency tests, finishing our Science unit on electricity, finishing out book about the Gold Rush, doing all the end of the year paperwork, and of course, the packing upof my classroom. That's never a fun task and thank goodness for the help I get from a former student, especially this year since I've hurt my knee. I'm really limited in mobility and strength, so every bit of help counts. My friend Patsy, who is a sign language interpreter, is coming to my school to teach my kids how to sign and about how deaf people communicate....which is a great tie-in to our current OCR unit on Communication. We also have 3 extra drama workshops this week, in addition to our regular drama time, AND I have to prepare them for the science assessment ASAP. The end of the year is so jampacked but exciting!
