I just realized that in my Professional Development entry I had said that I would be teaching Spanish 2, Spanish 3, ESL/Language Arts 11/12 and co-teaching ESL/Science 7. As it turns out, I am not doing any of that!! I am teaching a combined Spanish 2 and 3, and co-teaching ESL/Language Arts 7 and 8 with Mr. Laffin and ESL/Language Arts 9 with Ms. Galland!! It's amazing to me how important it is to stay flexible and go with the flow, and also how hard it can be when you are trying to plan and prepare! I am now starting to get in the swing of things. On top of class hours I am a 9th grade adviser (Patrick and I are their go-to people if they need anything), co-leader of the ESL department and trying to deal with our language related issues at school, and the CARE facilitator (basically the one to set up meetings about the well-being of students in order to come up and implement a plan of action).
We have our first Open House Wednesday, September 17th for parents to see what their students are doing at school. I'm nervous and excited to get to meet the parents!! Will keep everyone posted as to how it goes :)

Alissa,
Flexible. Yes! Forever! Do you have to get up really early? THat's one thing I hate. We have our K-2 parent curriculum night the 18th. Is there a way to update us when there are new blog entries, or do we just check back every so often?
Keep up the good work. I'll look for the entry on R&R.
Ann
