2 days till lift off!!!!!

Monday I am back at it. Flexibility already tested. I am not getting my low level kids everyday. The powers that be suggested that this would not be a good idea. I will probably never the know the reason why. So. I will have my low level kid for only Social Studies. I will have my middle of the road kids for English. We follow an A/B schedule. Meaning one day I see my English kids and the next day I see my Social Studies kids. Rotating schedule. I also heard a rumor we may not get our IPADs. I have been working on lesson plans everyday for about 3 hours. I communicate with another teacher via phone, text, email. We are meeting at the school tomorrow to make copies and support each other. I ordered 5 plastic inflatable globes from Amazon. My students really don't know where the continents are and my 3 year old nephew does (why is that?). I have been typing up plans and ideas. I send them to my principal and fellow teachers. Checking and rechecking. This is the OCD part. I can't stop thinking about school. Relaxation is not an option. If I am not working right now I feel like I am wasting precious time. I am branching out for ideas. I posted my GLE's on Facebook. GLE's are Grade Level Expectations. What I am focusing on with my kids. I have been getting feedback and support from Facebook. I have to research the topics I am teaching and think: How am I gonna get this in their brain? How is it gonna stay there? Will it be fun? Can they apply it and show me they really know it? The nerdy part of me loves to research all the topics. I am so nervous. I am wanting this semester to be easier than last semester.
