Gettin' Ready

Now that I'm (almost) moved into my apartment, it's time to start focusing on my new job.  I've spent the past two days working with my two new coworkers on developing our curriculum  at the K-8 level (the HS teachers are working on theirs and then we'll pull it together).  In the fall we all have to do a presentation tot he school board.  Nothing like be thrown right in to the thick of things.  Two weeks after school starts, I'll be in front of the school board explaining my curriculum - which I haven't had a chance to fine tune.  Oye.  No pressure. 
It was actually a really good two days, though.  Spending this time on the curriculum will help me in the next few weeks as I pull together my lesson plans.  Now I have a plan.  A map of what my expectations are and how to get there.  That's more than I had at my old school.  So that's good.  I also gave me two days to work with my two coworkers and get to know them a bit.  I got the keys to my room and my laptop.  I got my email address and got set up in the system.  So it was a good couple of days, and I feel more comfortable going into school this summer now.
Friday I head to Gville for the annual family reunion on the lot.  But when I get home, I'll start heading into school a couple days a week to really get situated so I'm prepared in the fall.  There's still so much to do, but suddenly it's not so overwhelming.
Bring it.
