I am experiencing something I haven't felt for quite a few years. First Year Panic. There is so much happening and I have no idea if I have all the holes plugged in this boat before I put to the sea of a school year. I am in a little corner of calm as workers in hard hats wander through doing more work on The Career Academy for tomorrow - when the students arrive for the first time.
Is my syllabus complete? Will Google Classroom work? Do I have my units prepared? Will I set the students on fire for Economics? Do I have a room? Do I have seating? Where is there a working bathroom? Rumor has it that there is a working water fountain down the hall .... somewhere.
