Home sweet home

2017 is looking like it is going to be an even better year than I first realized!

Back in April or May of 2016 I found out that there were plans to move my teaching position to a new school about 15 miles away from my hometown for Fall of 2017. I don’t have anything against the town or the new school. It will undoubtedly be a really good thing for everyone... Except for me.

Now, I realize that the good of one should not outweigh the good of all. But I am also selfish. I love what I do (most of the time). I love where I teach. I went to school here. I grew up here. My daddy still teaches here. I am home.

This is my HOME.

When I came back to JHS after working in industry, I didn’t feel like I was starting something new. I felt like I was going home.

Now, yesterday I got a phone call from my principal. He told me that I will not be able to be moved to the new school because it will not be finished by the projected date.

Home sweet home.

It may only be one more year, but I will take whatever I can get J

Sarcasm font

I am sitting at school (been here since 4:30 because we had Open House tonight) listening to our group meeting through Google Hangout. I won't be having ANY input during this meeting, especially since I am such a troublemaker...

 

I really wish I was teaching this class right now. Having to wait until January really isn't what I had envisioned for this class. I hope to have it next year during my 1A block so that I will have my students from August through May.

Oh!! Danielle has moved to Tuscaloosa and is now the principal at the Tuscaloosa City Schools Career Tech Center. So we have been without a CT Director for the past few weeks. The position was posted and they finally hired someone tonight at the board meeting.

Ashlie!! So now we have no librarian lol 

BUT we have someone who understands Career Tech AND someone that knows we aren't idiots. 

I've gotta get back to this meeting although I am pretty good at multitasking, but I definitely don't want anyone emailing me this weekend and scolding me about my behavior.

 

See?? I can multitask :)

There definitely needs to be a sarcasm font... Because I would use the heck out of it...

Create PT Grade

I finally got my grade back for my aquarium program. I ended up with an 85 overall, and I can't get too upset about it because I remember being to the point that I had to just turn the thing in and stop looking at it.

Programming is something that you can build on forever. You can always make it better; you can always make the program do more; you can always make the program look better. It never ends.

Honestly, it does bother me that I didn't put forth more effort and make a perfect score or at the least make an A...

what do you want leaders to do with technology?

 

I came across this graphic on http://georgecouros.ca/blog/archives/5480, a blog written by a principal that has some very good ideas reguarding technology and using it in the classroom.
