As I've previously said, I kept notes about spring hours on the Stickies application. :) It kept me accountable because I saw it EVERY day at the beginning, middle, and end of the day.
March's total hours was:
Hours: 164.75
Notes on this--
1. Spring Break!
2. PAWS testing for our students meant that I did less work to be graded in the classroom. I wanted to keep it low key.
3. I had a week I didn't record. Therefore, 40 hours was calculated for that week.
April's totals:
Hours: 190.75
Notes on this:
1. Good Friday was a no school day, but otherwise, no days off.
2. My father-in-law passed away at the end of April and on the 30th it was a long day of lesson plan writing for the funeral the following day.
May's totals:
Hours: 166.25
Notes on this:
1. The last two weeks of school have WAY less preparation. :)
2. After students' last day, teachers do come in to clean, etc.
END OF FEBRUARY RESULTS...
END OF FEBRUARY (including November and December)
Total hours worked this year: 1258.5 hours
Salary for the year: $44,784
I'm making: $35.58 per hour
PLUS March/April/May's 521.75 hours!
DRUMROLL...if you please....
Total hours worked this year: 1780.25
Salary for the year: $44,784
I'm making: $25.15 per hour
Now. Is that a bad salary? Heck No! It's very nice and I'm comfortable with it. The problem I see is that I'm paid to work 37 weeks at 40 hours per week. That's 1480 hours at about $30.25 per hour.
I work (with a CONSERVATIVE estimate) 300 hours MORE than that in an average year. Not saying I can't get by, but really, If I got paid PER HOUR, I'd have made $53,869 this year. That's all, of course, not including the fact that I have already worked a bit this summer and will be back to work WELL before summer is over.
I may do this again this year just to see if I'm working less/more/the same as I get more experience. :)
