Today was a
pretty boring day. I had classes in the lab, including a first grade
class. It only took thirty minutes for them all to get logged in.
Trying to introduce first graders to the concept of capital letters
and hyphens, when a lot of them don't even have a firm grasp on their
student number, is rough. And it will be rough for awhile. Such is
life. Thank goodness they only have to use their student numbers for
a username and not their full names. That starts in second grade,
and that is equally as rough.
When I didn't
have classes in the lab I spent most of my time working on turning my
shortcuts page for the computers into an actual website. There's no
real point but it is a fun side project. Next week I'll probably
need to send out emails looking for more productive side projects to
keep myself busy until testing starts.
Speaking of
testing, I handed out blank seating charts for the teachers to
eventually fill out. I also went up to one of the fifth grade
classrooms and re-plugged in some cords in the back of the laptop
cart that had come unplugged. This afternoon I also messed around
with the gifted teacher's tablet again. It wouldn't turn on at first
and I pushed buttons and who knows what happened. When it eventually
turned on it was working perfectly. The internet worked, all the
programs worked, everything. Who knows.
And going back
to testing, I made a new desktop for my computer monitors at work.
It is a piece of paper from a yellow legal pad and I put the
different MAP and state assessment testing dates on it. Now I won't
have to constantly check the testing schedule throughout the year.
It'll be hanging out on my desktop.
After work I
didn't do a thing. For dinner I had the second half of my Chipotle
burrito and it was delicious. After dinner I think I fixed the
sprinkler system. I made a new program for less days, shorter times
per sprinkler, and it will start earlier. In theory.
I spent the
rest of the night watching DVRed stuff. I haven't done that in
awhile. I took a break from school stuff because of my surprising
productiveness last night. I'll jump back into reading stuff and
maybe replying to some discussion posts tomorrow.
It is now past
my bedtime so I think I'm going to head that way. I'm looking
forward to sleeping in tomorrow. Hopefully it isn't one of those
mornings where I wake up super early for no reason.
