Today started of with a mandatory meeting. So I was at school at 8 for a meeting 8-9 about suicide prevention. Tomorrow I need to make sure I get paid for being at that meeting. Since I work half tim in the afternoons, I am not required to be at morning meetings. However if it is mandatory then I should get paid for an hour an my hourly wage.
Then I had flex (office hours) for an hour. Then I was off until 2:45. Other than a student making up a test during lunch. Lots of time to get work done. However I was out of my classroom for most of the time, since someone else was teaching there. Also I was having trouble using the wireless. So while I did get some lesson planning done, I was not able to transfer my updated lesson plan to my smartboard in my room. I thought I had, but I was wrong. Since the first page looked correct, I did not double check until five minutes before class, and I could not get everything straightened out in time. So class did not run as smoothly as I would have hoped.
My personal lesson from the day was be careful what you say because everything will be picked up on by your students. I mentioned that I had a technology SNAFU. Most of my class was unfamiliar with this term, so I spent a minute explaining it. There were definitely worse things I could have said.
