Off to a good start!

Well it's getting down to the wire and my Summer is practically over. Today I went up to my school to check on the status of my room and to do a little lesson planning with a few of the other math teachers. While I definitely have lots and lots to do before I will even be close to ready, there was a lot of good news today that got me excited to start the year. Such as:

*Our school district gave all employees a 1.5% pay raise for this school year. Not a ton, but better than no raise at all!

*Another 6th grade math teacher was hired and apparently she is young, blonde and slightly new to teaching! Yay! A potential buddy for next year! :)

*Our school replaced it's contract with Coca-Cola to one with Dr. Pepper! YES! Diet Dr. Pepper in the vending machines now! Yippee!

*I will have the same schedule as last year: teach 1st-5th period with 6th and 7th off! I love getting all of my teaching over with and having the rest of the day to relax/plan for the next day!

*My room is sparkling clean and ready for some serious decorating! :)

Umm think there were a few other things but those were my main moments of joy today!

Here's hoping that this will be an AWESOME school year! :)

  6. Sounds like everything is going great!! I have to start getting in there and cleaning too. Eww....I'm figuring out what my deal will be next year. Do you think it'll be super hard for me to get a job next year in TX? I was thinking about going to grad school if it didn't look good.
