Today I went into work. I got to go fix my classroom after a strange teacher used it for the last semester. He is a college teacher normally. Wasn't too hip on discipline. I found graffitti, trash, and other items from the students. And piles...piles...of papers that I am not sure were ever graded. My drawers were a disaster with ever little item you can imagine in them. Ewww!!
Interestingly, the teacher was absent for finals and his last day of work (before I return). Do you all think he will return to grade the finals and give the students a grade for their semester of work. I am doubtful. My room was discusting. (weird word) I spent 5 hours cleaning - of course I wrangled my favorite custodians (Thanks Moises and Cecilio!!) to help with some things. They are always game to help.
I met my fourth period class. Only 36 students in this one. It appears that I have 183 students - which is 15 over contract. Anyway - the students were really cute and some even came up to introduce themselves. I met Jose, then Jose right after that. a-oh! Already trying to pull the wool over my eyes. Turns out I really have two Jose's!! It was funny. We all laughed.
Sooooo excited to be back at school! I don't have to worry about the next two weeks going by fast, that's for sure. My classroom is clean and organized and all of my apples are out!
