Things were done today. By me. A
productive Monday.
Right after clocking in the music
teacher asked if I could print some class pictures of the
kindergarteners for her new intern. I stopped by one of the
kindergarten rooms to drop off my mom's cup which she asked me to
bring, and then I headed to the lab to print the pictures, after I
turned on all the computers and put away the sheets that go over them
at the end of each week. Right as I was printing them out one of the
paras (the new crazy one) came in and asked if I could unlock the
iPads, which are in the music room, so the timing was good.
Throughout the day I worked on and
eventually finished the lab schedule that will take effect next week
when the state assessment begins. I was able to post the first four
weeks but I'll have to wait for the next several weeks until everyone
signs up for their MAP tests and I can get those added into the
schedule. And to aid in that, I posted the sign-up sheet for MAP
testing. It looks a bit ridiculous because it is has a three-week
window and the majority of the first two weeks taken up by state
assessments. But I'm pretty sure I counted right so there should be
more than enough spots available for MAP testing. There are going to
be so many days over the next couple of months that end up being
four-test days. It's going to suck.
I got more sixth grade baby pictures
today so this afternoon I scanned them and started to edit them. I'm
not anywhere close to having pictures for most of the kids but I am
liking the trickle. Having a stack of pictures to scan an edit can
be a little intimidating. It feels a lot more manageable when I only
have a few to work on at a time. I also like the pace at the moment
because there is a good chance I can get everything done with plenty
of time to spare.
A good chunk of my night was spent
reading a textbook. It is the second half of the chapter we started
last week covering metadata. Still an interesting topic. Also, the
book is still more confusing than necessary. I know at least a
little bit about all the technology references they're making but I
know if I didn't I would be completely lost. I can definitely
understand the frustration expressed by some of my fellow classmates
in previous discussion posts.
I'm not sure what's on the agenda
for tomorrow at work. I have a few more pictures to edit but as far
as I know I'm all caught up with testing stuff. I'll find something
to fill my time.
