Exhausted Teacher in September!

🏫  OMG!  Our school changed from a 6 period day to a 7 period this year!  This was to ensure equality of teaching time for each instructional group but I am so so so very tired.  Can't think straight by the end of the day!

🍎  Teaching assignment include 3 grade 7 Math classes and 3 grade 8 Math classes.  Initially I was hoping that I would have three consecutive Grade 7 classes followed by three consecutive Grade 8 classes.  I am so glad that this is not the case πŸ˜ƒ  instead the order is mixed (8A, 8B, 7C, 8C, 7A, 7B)

πŸ˜ƒ  I find that I have a tendency to go through the lesson faster and faster the more often I teach the concepts in the same day.  Having a different grade mixed in has allowed me to refocus on the grade, curriculum and students.


πŸŽ’  I teach 6 of 7 periods in the day.  Given 30+ students per class I am seeing about 190 students per day.  Thankful that I also teach my homeroom otherwise the number would be even higher lol

🍎  190 faces to match with names on the attendance list.  I am going to create 6 seating plans tonight as students did not sit in the same place on day 2 as day 1.  Confusing for me.
