All classes went really well, to start.
My 6th graders, a handful of them, were much more productive working on the brainstorming for their presentations we are planning.
4th and 3rd went really great as well, with a student (I think it was my new friend "Who Dat!" Brandon- he had a fleur de lis necklace on and loves the Saints... instant friendship!) said I was the coolest teacher because I knew about The Incredibles.
Other than that, here are the fires I put out around the school:
- A handful of teachers were having problems logging onto their pretty old computers. (IBMs with 3.5 disk slots and Windows 2000), One day they could, the next they couldn't. Many of these teachers had many documents on them that were super important... I am buying them a flash drive for Christmas! :) Anyway, my brain actually shifted into overdrive and thought a problem out backwards and I realized how to get them to log on... get them off of the network and then log on, and it worked! These teachers could retrieve their documents!!!! I think I will go send a friendly email reminder right now to all staff to back up their stuff just in case... you just never know!
- I am looking into a price for getting flash drives customized for all staff. Best present I think they could ever get!
- Another teacher was having issues getting on the wireless, her wireless device just would not connect. I downloaded an updated driver for her wireless device to my lovely little hot pink flash drive, and then installed it on her computer and TA DA! Success! This is something I totally would not have known how to do 2 weeks ago... Mrs. Moore had a similar problem and somehow I stumbled upon this way to fix it. As well as Mr. Page's issue with his video driver.
- One other teacher finally got a computer.. I hope she can get an HP charger for it this weekend and that it works well for her.
