change in schedule

For the upcoming school year, the schedule is a bit different. We are going from 60 minute classes down to 42 minute classes; they will meet 5 days a week instead of 4. Not ideal for a science teacher, but it is the same as what I had when teaching in Chicago.

Last year, I taught 6th grade Earth Science, 7th grade Life Science, 9th grade Biology, Pre-Algebra, and middle school ESL.

This year, the ESL is gone, replaced by AP Biology. The other four classes are the same. So my teaching load is definitely tougher, though I will not be a homeroom teacher this year. That will help a little.

Rachel will have 9th grade Geography, 10th grade AP World History, 11th grade AP Comparative Politics, and an MUN elective. MUN is new, and replaces her 8th grade Ancient Civilization class.
