This has just been SUCH a busy year! I really didn't think that going from 6 periods to 8 (which makes them go from 65 minutes to 45) would make such a big difference at school this year, but IT DID!!!!! At the beginning of the year I was so behind every day! I had so many things on my to do list that grew daily! I didn't think I would ever catch up... but I did! I have actually had a really good year.
I found out today that I was voted "Teacher of The Six Weeks"! At my old school, we had teacher of the month, so there were 9 (or 10) teachers that were able to get that title each year. I even got it once there. But at my new school, they only do it once a 6 weeks, so only 6 teachers get that title. It's really cool because it is the staff that votes on it, so I feel like it is an extremely nice award to receive. I was voted for the 1st 6 Weeks! It will be announced tomorrow.
Today, I also got a really nice email. Our instructional specialist (which is a relatively new position) goes to a lot of district meetings. She was at one this morning. When she got back she sent me an email saying that each of the specialists had to pick out some "Rockstar" teachers for specific categories. She wanted to let me know that she gave my name for the "Rockstar" teacher... I think it was in the higher level questioning category? I don't remember, but it was nice of her anyway!
Anyway... that put me in a good mood!
I'm about to go eat dinner... smells yummy!
