Late Night

My room is now a cooler YES! However whenever I step outside I kind of feel like I am in the desert LOL and want to go back inside. Most of stuff in room, not put away but it is in the room so less moving to do on Friday. We kind of all have each other's books due to the constant switching about who was in third and what room was which. Just need to do paperwork and first day stuff.


I feel like a I am not going to be ready for Monday but I keep telling myself that it will all work out and things could be alot worse than they are (like Vince who has to do textbooks for Kelly who is out with baby, on top of getting moved to new room and set up). A lot of talk about STAAR today and I must say everyone is a little stressed about the changes. However some stress is good to get people out of ruts and some good discussion went on.

Due to all of the moving I have some big bruises on arms and look like I had a fight LOL but it was only bookshelves, boxes, doors, and tables. My feet have been swollen the last 2 nights and very dirty due to the moving stuff around and going back and forth in the courtyard.

Later~

First day back!

WOOOHOOOO!! I was able to get in my room today after meeting with my team. I stayed until about 6pm and then almost got locked outside of school, I couldn't get in the building to go to my car LOL. Luckily Myrna was in building with her daughter still and she let me in.

I got my desks and bookcases out and put where they should be or near to it with stuff still in corner that doesn't belong to me. My room in the portable is A LOT bigger than my tiny room last year and while I don't like being in a portable this is a bonus along with being able to put room as hot/cold as I want. It took me a little bit to figure out the air condition and was running it on one until I went and looked at the second one again and fiddled with it. DUH!!! I hadn't moved it enough to turn in on. So tomorrow hopefully it will be cooler.

Meeting with my team was a little rocky due to I think my fault in not approaching what I was saying the right way. Hopefully we/I can get beyond that and have a great year. I sometimes say something without realizing how it sounds so I am working on that this year. I do think that everyone has some good ideas and I know were are going to do our best to have our students do well on the new STAAR test even though we don't know what it will look like :0)

Hopefully will feel tired in the next 30 minutes so I can go to sleep! Later!!!
