30 Something

I was evalated over a month ago and I just had my post conference meeting on Monday. I was pretty nervous, but the asst principal kept telling me that she thought I did a good job. We are evaluated over what seems like a million different criteria and each component gets a rating of either E (excellent) S (satisfactory) or U (Unsatisfactory). I got mostly E's and S's and no U's. I was so happy and relieved. Now I have two more evaluations to go. The next two--one before Christmas break and the last one before the end of the year--are not planned. The assistant principal will just pop into my classroom. I'm not too worried about it, but there are days when I don't write down my lesson plan, so I have to make sure that I have one every day. I'm not sure how to do a lesson plan for a test, but we have to have one. There are three school days until Thanksgiving break and I can't wait. I've heard that the students will be crazy next week because of the short week. I've got a test planned for Monday and two short lessons with videos planned for Tuesday and wednesday. I hope that everything goes well. I wasn't planning to go home for Thanksgiving; I don't feel like driving, but I'm not sure who I will be spending time with. For the past couple of years I've been spending Thanksgiving with Tonya, but I'm not sure I'll do that this year. I have a giant turkey though. I don't know what I"m gonna do with it. I guess I'll give it away to her. She has 4 children who could use the turkey. I think I'll just go get me some nice turkey breast and and smoked turkey leg to eat. It shouldn't take me more than an hour to cook Thanksgiving dinner. I was watching Rachel Ray do a show on a 60 minute Thanksgiving meal and I really enjoyed some of her dishes. I'm surely going to try a few.
