This week was spent preparing for classes: editing the workbook, collecting permission slips, calling parents to discuss the program, and making sure schedule changes are on track. The kids are as excited as I am and have been asking all kinds of questions...
Q. When will I get my schedule changed?
A. Next week.
Q. Can I start early?
A. No - I'm afraid you'd get sick of me.
Q. When will get our t-shirts?!
A. Hold your horses, kiddo!
To add to the warm fuzzies I'm getting from the students, I came to work on Tuesday to find this on my door.
Thursday, I went to Boulder for a training, conducted by Carlo and learned a lot. I feel much more prepared to teach the fundamental YESS lessons now and have had fun identifying my hot buttons as I interact with others.
Next week, I've got four appointments with parents and will be assisting with parent/teacher conferences. I'm also looking forward to attending a Youth Mentoring Collaborative training called "Coaching your Students to Academic Success." Additionally, I'll be getting rosters finalized by the guidance department and prepping for loads of ice breakers.
