But who's counting?
Really, I'm not. I am teaching in a great new room ~ in a great new building ~ with great new people. It's going to be a great year.
My goals: Be a good listener.
I may have to only have one goal ~ as that one will take A LOT of practice on my part.
We are doing something new to us {not so new in the education world} consulting. I have a period of consultation with the 7th and 8th grade science teachers. I'm not sure how exactly this is going to look, but I'm less anxious and more excited after two days. I'm hoping that I can really help teachers help the special needs kids in their classrooms. I've kind of been in a panic whenever I've thought about it this summer...{maybe I've been faking this whole intervention specialist thing for 23 years}...but now that I've been in the class & recognize the needs of some of the kids, I have some ideas, and I've feeling more confident.
Jacob is enjoying his classes & hopes to have his summer reading done by Christmas {seriously?!? I'm a bad parent}
Patrick is working out ~ joining stuff ~ meeting people ~ playing tennis ~ remembering calculus ~ doing fine.
Life is good.
