Or, as most people call them, professional development days. I have one tomorrow, and I’m a little nervous, to say the least. Not nervous like I’m afraid that something will go wrong, but, well, I guess suspicious is more the right word. See, my district loves scheduling full day PDs for half a day, so we don’t get the full benefit of whatever we’re being presented. And, sure enough, tomorrow we have the morning for PD on our new science program, StemScopes, and then the afternoon to work with our team on planning. Both are great things to have. But, if given a choice, I’d rather be given a whole day on the science program and then planning another day. We had half a day on StemScopes last year and, through no fault of the presenter, who did her best, it sucked. We needed the full day. And I bet anything that tomorrows PD is supposed to be a full day, but the district only paid for half.
I hope I’m wrong. It’d be a nice surprise.
Also exciting, my Alice in Wonderland poster from Lithographs arrived. However, I wasn’t home when the mail carrier tried to deliver it (I missed her by about two minutes), so now I have to go the post office to pick it up. Lucky I have this horrible cough and can’t swim so I can pick it up Monday. See, everything works out for a reason. Isn’t life wonderful. 🙂
