Final Monday

Today is the last Monday for being a teacher at Farragut. It's a bit surreal. Today is supposed to be final exams, but since I have all seniors I don't have to give any. Grades are due for most teachers on Wednesday. But again, since I have seniors my grades were all in last week. I doubt I'll see very many of my students until later this afternoon when they all come in for graduation practice. Graduation is this Wednesday at 7:00pm at the Arie Crown Theater. I'm very excited since I have so many of my students, and students I know, graduating.

On the job front, I received a phone call last night from one of the two schools I was hoping to hear from. I will be meeting with the Principal on Wednesday. I'm very excited because it seems like a very cool school and one that I think would be a very interesting challenge professionally. Also this Friday is the opening of the Teacher Fellowship art exhibit at Gallery 37. The art project my History of Chicago students worked on will be exhibited for 2 weeks along with the scultptures from Kate Adams' class and work from other teachers in the program. I'm very excited and I'll post some photos after.
