OK.
So, after 6 months. I have decided to share something that is becoming to be a bit of a pet peeve -- My Class Schedule.
OK.
To determine my daily schedule, I have an allotted 3 sheets of paper, once a week Elementary School schedule faxes, as well as a board I have to refer to to determine when and where my classes are on that day.
Sheet 1: I received the annual weekly schedule for all English Teachers with what classes they have. My classes are highlighted by a yellow marker to tell me with which teacher and what class I am meeting with on the allotted day of the week.
Sheet 2: Every week we receive a weekly schedule of periods and what ORDER they take place in. For example, next weeks schedule on Monday shows the order of periods as Mon 5,Mon 3, Mon 4, Mon 1,Mon 2. Next Tuesday for example, shows a schedule Friday 1, Friday 2, Friday 3, Fri 4, Fri 5, Fri 6. I must look at Sheet 1 to determine which classes I have on which day and realign it to the following week's schedule.
Sheet 3: Every day in the 3rd Grade teachers' section we receive a daily schedule of what periods the 3rd Grade Students have as well as if they have special classes, tests, or a free period. For my first 4 months, I thought the schedule referred to all grades. This of course, caused me a lot of problems in the first few months here.
The Board: Today is when I discovered that schedules can be changed at the last minute. On the board, all of the classrooms and grades are listed and if there are changes, the subjects are written in Japanese for what period they are changed to. As such, if there was a last minute change in the 1st Grade section, I could accidentally end up double booked with a 3rd Grade class. (This happened today, with the result of two teacher's getting mad at me... in theory it should only be one teacher...but no it was two... and there was nothing I could do about it).
Elementary School Faxes: There is no rhyme or reason to when I get the announcements about what Elementary school I go to. Luckily, I have an allotted Monday and Friday afternoon that is devoted to Elementary School. However, the pickup times for me to leave vary from school to school as well as my return times from the Elementary School. Not the most fun thing in the world.
Long story short. I am a master of the numbers 1-6! I even in the last few weeks started going to the Special Ed classes which occurs once week. It is known as Special A class and is completely out of rythym with the rest of the School's schedule. Life is grand!
