All sorts of meetings, all required. I'm starting my 5th year, and I've always felt that we aren't given enough time to organize and prepare the week before school starts. I personally think that the time should be split 50/50. Give us half the time on our rooms, and the rest in meetings. One of my beefs. Hey Todd. All sorts of meetings, all required.

Were you required to go to those meetings? Just curious what kinds of responsibilities other schools are putting onto teachers. I suppose I could rustle up some pictures, though I hadn't planned on it. There's nothing spectacular about my room, just that I feel it's cleaner. My school decided to stay open last weekend and this weekend. That's kind of them. I was there last weekend, but I have no plans to trek down there today or tomorrow. Monday will come soon enough.

Anytime we had a break, even for ten minutes, I would rush back to my room and work on it. Needless to say, they are kind enough to let us come in today, on Saturday, on our own time, to finish up. It's interesting how you get an immediate feeling when you walk into some classrooms. The environment you set up definitely says a lot about who you are. You going to post any pictures of your room Todd? I spent most of the week, about 80%, in meetings. Anytime we had a break, even for ten minutes, I would rush back to my room and work on it.
