First Week & Schedule

Whew! I am exhausted.  I started my weekend before the first week of school with a major kidney infection.  Yay!  Seriously though, I kept a positive attitude because so much was going on.

I shadowed the principal the first day.  We spent the morning greeting students and parents and directing traffic (my morning duty from 7:50-8:00).  Then, we went in and out of classrooms saying hi to students.  Lunch period (11-12:40), I walked around the lunchroom talking to students and introducing myself.  I met with some of our students with special needs and organized 504 folders.

Today was another busy day.  The principal and I met with every grade level during their specials to talk about the new programs we are putting in place.  I also found out the large number of 504s and 6th grade ARDs I have.  So many going on in the first 6 weeks.

The rest of this week is going to be extremely crazy busy, but I am ready.  I attached a copy of my schedule, so you can have an idea of what I have posted on my board as well as on my website each week.  This is the same format my school counselor mentor used last year and I loved it! It was so nice for the students to be able to see if they had a group, individual session, or guidance lesson with their class. ( I blacked out teachers names and students initials for the internet)
