Whew, made it through the last couple weeks. First day of
school, volleyball tryouts, upset parents about volleyball tryouts, open house,
making teams, all for our first game tomorrow!!!
Sorry for the lack of posts. I am going to be working
extremely hard this year. My fellow coach has never played volleyball so until
she learns by watching me, I’m attempting to coach all 3 teams. Don’t get me
wrong, I absolutely love my new coach; volleyball is just a learning process
for someone who has never played or watched before!
My classes are going well. My accelerated classes are
fantastic. My on level classes are getting there. I am amazed at how low some
of my 7th grade students are; we spent 15 minutes filling out a 1 to
12 multiplication chart and some still only had it half way filled out. My
class is 1/3 special ed and that just slows it down even more. I don’t think
they’re accustomed to teachers still expecting a lot out of them, like me!
On the plus side, I have already had a visitor come in from
administration of the district to film me talking about my new rules. I,
apparently, told her about them at a training this summer and she remembered
and asked to film me talking about them to show to the New Hires in the
district! I told her I felt honored and would love to! She has already asked me
to film several classes for her throughout the year so she can use as examples.
It’s nice to know that someone is acknowledging all the work I put in
throughout the year.
I have been asleep by 9:30 almost every night.. it’s
exhausting. But the kids really do make it worth it; for example, someone just
asked me, “Ms. Lindstrom, how do you do everything you do and still manage to
dress so cute?”
Thank you little 12 year old, you just made my 11 hour day.
