Today was the new hire workshop and then I started planning our PBL intervention for the sciences.
Overall, I seem very on the same page with the other science teacher, which is awesome. She is also very open to ideas (which I am bad at coming up with when I don't have all of my materials with me). I need to really beef up my planning over the next week before school starts. I am very comfortable with the school already! I got the keys to my classroom and looked through the stuff that was left behind. There are some specimens, and a lot of tools for science like microscopes and dissection tools. I also found a lot of general school supplies. So I think that the various items that I bought will go into the prize bin. I also need to get a prize bin. There is quite a bit of storage space, but not that much wall space. A huge amount of space on the white board, and I still need to go get a document camera/ overhead projector from the library apparently. I will be having 7 classes, with period 7 prep (which I hear is bad?). I need to start making friends with the other staff members, and remember their names as well. I am sure there will be time to do that tomorrow. I planned out a few of the things I will be writing on the walls using sticky notes today. I need to get that lesson planning in and set up my online environment. I need to figure out how to log in as well. That is what Thursday will be for hopefully, I am taking a class on that. We got MacBook Pro's to use in our classes, though I am not sure how I will use mine. I still need to do SO much in setting up in my class before school starts next week. I am starting to get excited :)
