Day 25 - "Schedule Fairy Where Are You?" - SOLSC

#SOL21

 Schedule fairy where are you? Can you help this new teacher, please? I was up until ten, I have no magic pen, and my new schedule is nowhere near finished!

Yeesh, between two meltdowns today (one remote) and one in-person, and a schedule that just won't quit, this new teacher is TIRED. I worked on this schedule all last night, but is it finished? Nope. I'm wondering if there is a schedule fairy out there that could wave a magic wand and poof! My groups would magically be placed, my assistants would know where they were going, and the new magical schedule would scurry its way over and magically land in my principal's inbox. I foresee a spring break full of fun in my future, full of schedules, groups, and minutes, oh my. 

Schedule fairy where are you? I only have writing, phonics, and reading groups to place for my two students in two different classes. It's easy you can do it! Oh wait, I still have to figure out all of the in-person groupings for my own class of two. Oh, schedule fairy where are you?

Well, maybe at least the invisible schedule fairy could bring me some jelly beans. A new teacher does enjoy candy when she is stressed, especially at this time of year. 

A week of work is ahead for me, I think it is my destiny unless the schedule fairy can find me. Oh, schedule fairy where are you? 

Until next time...

There are lots of fairies I have hoped for over my course of my career. I know it will all work out for you, some how, and maybe not the way you imagined or hoped. My word of the year is TRUST. I am trusting that all will work out for me, and I hope it does for you.

I'm not sure where the schedule fairy is. Do you think perhaps they are out bowling with my grading fairy? I can imagine the two of them in matching shoes, picking out the best balls, sipping on their beers all while laughing about those of us teachers who are watching, waiting, wondering when they will make their presence known.

In the meantime, I guess (sigh) it'll be up to us...

Random Thoughts - "A New Teacher's Testimony" - 23 Days Until School's Out!

The blog challenge might be over, but I find that I miss writing. I miss expressing my new teacher's testimony and today I felt compelled to write. We had bees, state testing, and a room-clearing all in one day. I am "abuzz" with grad school work, meetings, and thoughts of where my new journey in education will go. My mind is full of thoughts, so many thoughts. When will I no longer be considered a "new teacher?" What will my classroom look like next year? Will I have one? Where will this journey take me? So, many, thoughts..... This new teacher misses sharing her thoughts with you, so today on a Tuesday. Here I am. One new teacher on a journey all her own. One more IEP to write, and 23 days until school is out..... Oh, the thoughts, so many thoughts. Until next time...my final thought of the day. *GB

#SOL21 Even when our class isn't called for the school drill, I see you. Even when the lunch staff forgets to bring you your lunch and you miss half of it, I see you. Even when you aren't invited to the class because of numbers and social distancing, I see you. Even when you are forgotten to be called down for specials classes, I see you.  Even if nobody cares to see you, I will forever see you. Until next time, *GB

Day 22 - "Only 4 Days Until Spring Break!" - SOLSC

#SOL21  Monday is my least favorite day of the week. This isn't because the week offers a bazillion opportunities to advance my skills and craft, but because the weekend seems so far away. Today we were thrown a curveball - a student was absent so I had a class of 1 for the day! (I also had to run groups remotely throughout the day for the kiddos who aren't in my self-contained class. Yes, I made this schedule so essentially I did this to myself.) I think the highlight of the day today was during lunch. Since I have to eat with my students I find this time to be a chance that I can get to know them even more. So today with my class of one, I look over and see a look of complete disgust on his face. I say to him, "are you ok?" He was looking at his chicken and tells me, "chicken makes me throw up." Yep out of the mouth of wee ones, comes the slice of the day. Plus, a big chuckle out of Ms. B. Thank you sweetie, for being the slice today. When I think about ho...
