summer school week one
(If you read this there may be a video bonus at the end.)
A lot things on my mind about summer school so far:
- We don't have enough students, but that isn't the end of the world. We have one student in Mississippi Studies which is definitely better than none. One student is not ideal, but I turned out okay, right? ....Right?
- I am enjoying the schedule of a second-year. I haven’t taken advantage of using TWO planning periods, but it has given me time to observe other teachers and give feedback.
- Molly has turned me into a feedback crazy person. I know I can’t write nearly as much as she did on my evals, but I’ve come close a couple of times.
- I am impressed by the first years so far. Everyone I have seen so far has great potential. A big shout-out to my first years, John and Ashton, who have weathered the first week in great style. Also, props to Trevor for a very nice lesson today.
- I am pretty happy with my three lessons. The first two I had never taught before, but that will change this fall. My first formal eval went well. I feel like I have improved which is a good thing. Still a long ways to go though…
- I can’t wait for volleyball today.
And now for your reward:
This may help to explain why Sealand and I say strange things when we are messing with any golf clubs. The following clip is from Caddyshack. If you haven't seen it, then stop lesson planning and go rent it.
