My principal gave all the specialists a professional day today. I used it to my full advantage. Of course, I had a patrillion things on my to-do list but didn't get nearly as much accomplished as I'd hoped. Sigh...
I thinked my principal for the day today and told him that I didn't get ahead, but at least I felt like I wasn't drowning anymore. And the sad part is that I take solace in that!
The specialists met for over an hour today and got a lot of preliminary planning done for the end of the year craziness. It will still be crazy, but I feel like we're not behind the eight ball like we have been in years past.
I didn't do much planning for the rest of the year, but I have a vague idea of what will be happening. Oh, I think I forgot to mention that the library will be closed for almost three weeks in May/June for our state-mandated testing. I am sick over it, but it's the way it has to be and other teachers and librarians are in the same boat as me. At least for two of the three weeks, it would be after the time when we are done checking out books for the year. And certainly, I can teach in the classrooms instead of the library, although I will miss my home!
