Professional development day today, since it was election day and the schools are polling places. Instead of being able to get more work done in my classroom (organizing my desk, cleaning out the closets, labeling/sorting more books for the library), I spent the ENTIRE DAY in a "new teacher orientation." I suppose it makes sense to do it on a professional development day, since all the teachers are free, but I needed the time at least as much to get the classroom organized... and honestly, it's information I could have used BEFORE I got started, rather than over a week into things when I've already started to develop a routine. Guh.
They're really insistent about this whole "school behavior plan" thing, and I still don't like it.
