My First PLC

I had my first PLC meeting today at work, These meetings are required by the State of California. I thought it was going to be boring but I was wrong it was actually interesting. We had to come up with five strategies or norms to complete and submit for our future Department meeting. We came up with the following:

1. Start and end meetings on time
2. Collaboration/Sharing materials
3. Class Grading Policies discussions
4. Set Goals for Accoplishments
5. Gather Evidence for WASC

Here is a picture of the teachers that are part of my Department.

Danger on the Road!

Everyday we are exposed to danger. Today as I was driving to our class (Adult Class), I was almost involve in an accident. A pickup truck driving next to me was loaded with wood pallets. All of the sudden one blew out of the truck and came down flying right in front of the car (an SUV), driving right behind the pickup. The driver of the SUV tried to veer to my lane and almost hit my car. I was able to pull to the far side of the left lane and avoided being hit. It was a scary moment and I was even shaken for a few minutes. It's amazing how easy we can be involved in  a dangerous situation without warning. I am glad nothing happened.

Back To School

Today was my first day back to work for the school year 2017-2018. I got there a little late because all the parents were dropping off their kids and it was a mess. The traffic was long and I spent about 20 minutes to get from Avenue 54th to the CV High School. It was all worth it because I had great classes. All my students were excited to be in my class. I am ready to have a wonderful school year.
