The first week always passes by in a bit of a blur and for some reason I always forget that. I showed up on the Tuesday morning to all my furniture moved back into the room. I'd completely forgotten about all the little things that I usually do leading up to the first day. I'm totally behind this year.
By the end of this week, I managed to create piles around the classroom of stuff that I wanted to get rid of. That's about all. I will be spending the better part of my weekend in my classroom. I need to get the physical space cleaned up before I can work on any of the planning etc for this year.
I am really lucky again this year, as I have a straight grade 2 class instead of a split. Yes, I do have 23 students and many of the students have needs (3 are identified) but I have 2 EAs in the room with me. That will really help.
This week, I had my class for the whole week and it was busy! I feel like I am perpetually catching up. I remember thinking I would try out a couple of new systems in my class this year, but I'm trying to catch my breath as it is. We'll see. At least all the basics are covered for now.
