oh, let's see, where should I start.  Steve's job is temporary, we knew that before he applied, that's not the issue.  He was told that he would work until Nov. or so, not a big deal.  Last week he was told that he would be working until the end of Oct. or maybe a week or two into Nov.  Today he was sent home early because it was raining and they ( Read more... )

Yesterday I got to Kullerstrand with just enought time to eat lunch before my first group, and the minute I walked in the door I was asked to stop and talk to the principal, immeditly I thought I did something wrong.  He was on the phone with a parent so I ate my lunch quicly and went to find the other special ed. teacher to see what was going on ( Read more... )

Why can't teachers get overtime?  I've spent way too much time at school this week.  I have two Triennial reviews on monday one in the morning and one in the affternoon.  I only set one up and was informed of the other last week.  The other is for a kid I don't even see, so it's been really hard to write his report.  It's already taken me longer ( Read more... )

I stayed late at school and went to dance last night.  I don't like staying late at school, I don't get anything for it and I hate rush hour!! I got a lot done for one school at least.  I don't really have much to write about today, and my eyes aren't focusing on the computer right now.  I'm afraid that I'm going to need bifocals.  I can see ( Read more... )

leave it to me to get really excited that my salary shows up online only to discover that it wasn't right.  They have me on the lowest level of the pay scale, which most new teachers are so I can unterstand the mix-up, but I have two BA's and the second level is for people with a BA+20 credits.  The credits can all be undergraduate, so I should be ( Read more... )

I'm so ready for an extra day off!!  Work is going pretty good now, it's just hard not having any planning time at the two schools.  I got to work 20 minutes late this morning because of traffic, the sad this is, I left 10 minutes early.  Thank goodness I did or I would have been an additional 20 minutes late.  I was on I-70 and when traffic got ( Read more... )

I can't seem to get this whole morning routine down.  I leave myself an hourto get ready for work and usually that's enough time, lately an hour has been too short, so I've been giving myself an hour and a half, stupid having to look professional crap ;)  Some days even that isn't enough time and sometimes, like this morning, it's 6:30 and I don't ( Read more... )

My mom got a job last night working for Kohl's in kids and shoes.  She sounds pretty happy about it, though I'm so happy about it, I may be more excited for her.

The job is going pretty good.   The speach and language pathologist  from the one school that gave me all of the kindergarten kids decided that since she saw most of the kids more than I ( Read more... )

MY MOM GOT A JOB!!!

Heehee, the little mood icon looks like he's on acid.

Jeffco went back to school today.  I can no longer say, "yay the kids wen't back to school"  It was my first day too, and wow, am I tired! I didn't even have my kids today, I was in the kindergarten room for most of my morning.  Need I say more? Okay, I can't resist, I have to.  I was helping out ( Read more... )
