My apologies to all my faithful readers and followers. I know I have let you all down with my lack of posting. I've really have missed blogging (and reading...I'm behind 200 posts on my google reader) and a little bit of me hopes you've missed me too! I never imagined how busy I would be now that school is back in session. My faithful followers know that I am my building's new technology coordinator. When I applied for this position back in May, I honestly had no idea what I was in for. If I was just dealing with computer, printer, and Smart Board problems I would be ok. No, I had to take the position right before a major district-wide launch of ProgressBook. So on top of the computer, printer, and Smart Board problems, I'm working with teachers on ProgressBook and the ridiculous roster issues we're having! All of this on my free time. Um...what is that anyways?! And, did I mention I'm on the district Reading committee? This committee is making the selection for our district wide reading curriculum, and I feel VERY strongly about this so I'm not going to complain about the 8 days I will be out of the classroom over the next two months while this committee meets. Did I mention 8 days? And two days in a row next week? Nope, you hear no complaining here.
By the way, did I mention I'm also a teacher? Wait. No, my first priority is being a teacher. I'm so happy that I have such a wonderful class this year! We are going into our fourth week of school already. I cannot believe it! Our Daily 5 & CAFE is well under way and we are launching our new Word Study program and Word Work this week. The fifth grade teachers are joining us in the Word Study program and we decided to take some time to really get everything together before launching. Plus, it takes quite a bit of time to get the students assessed. Our FAB-U-LOUS Literacy Coach is also helping, and we are all so excited to see the progress the students will make this year in spelling.
I hope you accept my long-winded apology and will stick with me throughout this madness I call the 2011-2012 school year! I promise there will be many more classroom ideas and freebies to come!
