Wow here we are starting the 2011-2012 school year. We had a wonderful speaker today to start the school year. He talked about losing adultitis and having fun in the moment. Trying not to live via your to do list but just live your life. The biggest part I got out of it was if your life was a book/movie would it be a good one with lots of really good scenes or just jumping from one thing to the next. I think I jump to much and I do not enjoy more moments. I will work on that. To learn more about this I signed up for a newsletter to keep me thinking and living young. Here is the website Adultitis. Some good laughs were had.
I am under some additional stress to start the school year as I will be missing the first two days due to the death of my Grandmother. She was 91 and had a very blessed life and I am going to be with my family to help celebrate all she did for us. But that leaves my classroom to start the year! Yikes.
I love to use technology but I am concerned that my technology is not going to work and that my sub will struggle and the kids will misbehave. I have come up with activities for two of my classes just a couple more to come up with. But I am having them create a voki introduction of themself. This will help me to learn more about them, plus they get to play with technology. I am just crossing my toes that all the equipment works and kids can log in. Here is my voki for one of my classes.
So I just looked over my hours for the summer. Since school got out I have put in 270 hours of work that has been unpaid. That is a pretty good chunk of time out of my so called vacation. I will keep adding my additional hours put in to see how long it takes me to get to 2,000 hours.
