Changes at Work
Last Wednesday I got a phone call from my Department Chair. They needed one of us who teach Physical Science to pick up 2 classes of Biology. Long story short, the best answer to this problem was me.
I'm a little scared because even though Biology was my major, I have never taught it and really haven't even thought about it in about 10 years. I'm sure it will come back to me but I was hoping for a lighter load this year instead of heavier. (There are fewer students in Pre-AP so I was not going to have my 2 periods of that this year.) Of course I'm also excited because I love biology so I know that once I get into the swing of things it will be fun.
Now, some good news came today. My schedule will be 1st-4th Physical Science, 5th prep, 6th-7th Biology! I am SO happy about this! I was really afraid that I would have PS then Bio then PS then Bio and have to change my mind set and materials back and forth. Now I just have to set up for PS in the morning (or afternoon before) and then switch gears during my prep period. I really can not express here what an absolute relief this is.
So wish me luck, keep me in your prayers, send good ju-ju or whatever you do, as I get ready to start this new adventure.
