Got no sleep last night. The last timeI looked the clock it was 3 am. I know I tossed a turned longer than that. I just refused to look at the time. So a strong cup of coffee beside me and the thoughts of last night's nightmare are going the only things keeping me company right now.
Today's agenda...complete my booklet for my new classes starting Monday. Start compiling a booklet for my middle school classes. I don't know their level yet so I will wait until the second day I meet them to consolidate it. Perhaps I should just begin with the basics with them for writing the first week even if the reading material is too hard for them. Then bump up the readin material to an appropriate level. If they are gonna be bored they might as well be challenged.
I'm thinking of dumbing down my free talking booklet a bit because no true Intermediate level students actually register. They are mostly all lower. They can't get refunds either because it's too late due to the nature of my class sechedule. This is the last time I do this kind of class. I'm going back to one hour a day 4 days a week. On second tought I won't dumb it down because I started an IFT class and I will teach an IFT class. No more Miss Nice Teacher.
