Checklist
Wallpaper for bulletin boards has not yet been purchased. That's because the only vaguely suitable rolls at Walmart were $20 each. Piet, if you'd be so kind as to stop at one of the little wallpaper and paint stores on the way home to see what they have for about half that price, I'd appreciate it.
I have made up job signs, set up my hand-in bin and my hand-back bin, planned an initial writing activity, and bought a whole whack of stuff. I put up the bulletin boards that were already papered well enough that I didn't want to do them again. I made up the communication forms for each student and filed them in an alphabetical binder. I chatted with the principal and got permission to teach the arts subjects for two semesters each (thereby freeing up the timetable considerably) discussed scheduling of French and other things though no decisions were made, and generally made a good dent in the back-to-school work.
Still to do:
1) Get the other bb's up.
2) Make up my marking folder with class lists for each subject/strand, some anecdotal notetaking forms, and coloured paper as dividers
3) Make up my day book with general time divisions but no subjects yet, for two weeks. After that I'll have to make up ones that reflect subject differences.
4) Make up the supply file, and stock it with really good stuff, because I'm likely to need it often this year.
5) Get out to the French portable and set up for the first days, including doing some more bb stuff.
6) Make up missed-work folders, assemble class sets of duotangs and notebooks, and make up packages of student papers to go home.
7) Make a template for a weekly class newsletter (written mostly by students, with a short note by me and a reminders section of upcoming due dates, assignments, and special events. I'm nervous about this one - I've never done anything like it before.)
8) Start to set up centres for the less-able kids. The advanced ones will be using the centres I used last year in my streamed literacy class, but we're not streaming this year so I'll have several other ability levels.
9) Learn how to teach Science. This is dependent on the grade four teacher coming in sometime this week. He has all the resources.
A productive day, overall. Let's hope the next ones are as productive, and that next Tuesday goes smoothly.
