Getting Ready!!!

Well it's getting closer to my surgery...and planning for a long-term sub is not easy. I have been teaching for 16 years and this is the first time I have been out. I have less than two weeks to finish up all the final plans. I am just about there. Once I finish getting it all complete, I will post pictures of some ways to organize yourself for a long-term sub. I have a created a notebook that includes:

1. Daily/Weekly Schedules

2. List of Students

3. Morning Procedures

4. Monday Set up

5. Notes about my "special" kiddos

6. Behavior Management

7. Important people and where to find them

8. Map of my room and where to find things

9. Tuesday Folders

10. Gradebook

 

 

I also have a Sub-box...It includes items to have handy at your finger tips: AR rewards, AR recording sheets, behavior sheets, fluency sheets, reward cards, subject files for her to place weekly plans and practice sheets in, and a flash drive of anything she needs extra of and all the flipcharts she will use for the next six weeks. I hope this will be helpful for anyone who comes in.

 

If you are wondering what kind of surgery I am having...I am having back surgery. I have needed this for some time now. So, I am at peace about going through with this procedure. I am having a discectomy (I think that's the right term). I ruptured my L5 and S1 is pinched pretty bad. These next few weeks without any anti-inflammatory meds are not going to be easy, but I am asking God to help me endure the pain. He is Powerful!!!

 

Well...I've been busy preparing in my corner. How about yours? Till next time...
