I was informed this last week that fair is much closer than it appears in the mirror. I have four students who are showing lambs at our county fair. Two showed last year and two are new to lamb showing. It's been crazy, which anyone who supervises students and animals combined can attest to. Thankfully, we are all learning and growing.
With that said, this week is my last full, unadulterated week to work in my classroom. After this week, I will be expected to be either at the fairgrounds or in trainings, and then the week after that we start school!
Didn't we just get out of school the other day?!
I have gotten very little of the things I set out to complete done this summer. I need to work on the under promise and over deliver bit, not the other way around. But I do feel like I am finally making my classroom my own, which is a year or so in the making. Here's to hoping that I can keep working toward personalizing it in the coming years.
I am super excited about being able to start sending items to the print shop. Our district really, really, REALLY wants us to send documents to the print shop, rather than copying them in building. Like, I only get 500 copies a month type thing. Last year, I had more as a first year teacher, but I am super excited about sending all the things into the copy shop before everyone else. Here's hoping that I can get everything sorted and copied before the start of the year.
I also just finished the last bit of my parent packet, which is a huge collection of sign your soul away to me documents. I just want, in writing (student forged or not), that parents understand what is going on with their students in my classroom. Also, that my students understand what is going on in my classroom. Maybe it will scare out a few of the students who won't function well in the system I have. Now, I just need to send the last few bits to the translator (we have a large Spanish speaking population here) and I will be ready for the first day of school!
