And we can mark Schedule off the list.

Yay, finally had some time when the Assistant Principal was available.  We knocked out that schedule in 30 minutes.  I had already made preliminary groups and she knew just when to schedule for each grade level.  Done.   Now to retype and distribute to teachers.  

I get to cross something off the list!  

From Monday, with items crossed off:

• Finish putting up bulletin boards including moving assistants over a few inches.
• Set up speech therapy shelf/area.   
• Talk with admin about list of screenings.
• Start arranging K screenings from summer referrals. 
• Discuss set up of groups, re: timing, avoiding core teaching times
• Organize groups for next week.  I've been procrastinating because it's going to take a huge chunk of time.   Must be done
• Organize my speech area in main classroom/office
• Have duplicate keys made on way home for all locking file cabinets.  I'd like a set for each SLP (2), my assistant, and the principal.  The last for back up.  There were 4 locking file cabinets in the room I've inherited and only one had a key.
• Set up my speech area.
• Continue decluttering main classroom/office.
• Once I know my schedule I need to start scheduling my non-intensive and intervention preschoolers. 

So, the new list:  

• Start scheduling non-intensive and intervention preschoolers.
• Set up the speech area (seriously, just do it!)
• declutter, declutter, declutter
• make those duplicate keys
• Organize speech area AND make a plan for Monday's groups.
• Start arranging K screenings.
• Finish setting up my calendar with IEP dates and important school dates.  Oh, I need to go get a set of highlighters.  Mine are all dry.
• Make teachers a copy of their speech students' goals and classroom accommodations with cover letter.  Distribute.  
• Make teachers a copy of the speech schedule.
• Oh, yeah, the bulletin boards.   These just keep falling farther and farther down the list.   

Today was setting up my calendar.  I got all but 5 students IEP dates entered.   I can bring home the school dates and my calendar and do those at home this weekend.   And highlight/color code the entries.  

At the beginning of the day I had the pleasure of meeting and talking with one of our interns.    At the end of the day my site's intern came by and I enjoyed another good conversation.   This young woman is teaching me so much about organization.   I told her I was thrilled to be learning from her.   

Time to knit.  I need to get the current clue well underway in my mystery shawl loom along.  I was too tired to knit last night.   Not going to let tonight get too far away from me.
