It's hard to believe, but in less than a few hours I can say TGIF.
Meetings, classroom organization, schedule-making, errands - you name it. And then add some more errands on top of that. Good thing there's still a week of in-service left for me...because the lesson planning hasn't even started yet.
The whole co-teaching thing is definitely new and challenging in many aspects. It's really been keeping me in check because I've had to be a lot less impulsive in my decision-making. Yes, it's a bit frustrating at times because it takes 3-5 times as long to do most things than it would if I were teaching by myself. But, on the other hand, I'm getting loads of good ideas, techniques, and checks of accountability.
And the classroom's starting to look pretty good - pictures to be posted soon!
