More testing today. Two tests in the morning and one in the afternoon. It was as boring as it always is. My favorite substitute was working today but I only got to see her briefly this morning, so that was kind of disappointing.
Other than testing, I kind of helped the new sixth grade teacher with her email. I also kind of helped someone connect their phone to the wireless but not really because the guest wireless is trickier than the regular wireless. This afternoon I translated one of the first grade teacher's newsletter into Spanish and Chinese again. Which would be impressive if I wasn't using the internet to do all of the heavy lifting. I just mess with the formatting after the fact to make it look better. Who knows if it's actually a good translation.
And speaking of translations. And testing. One of the fifth graders, who only speaks Spanish, had to take the reading MAP test today. In case you were wondering, not only does he not speak English, he also doesn't read it. Him taking a reading MAP test was completely pointless. Unless you're testing something other than reading, like how well random guessing works on the test. Dumb.
Back to things I did today other than watching kids test. I filled out cards for both second grade classes, one third grade class, and one fourth grade class, with login information for Reading Counts. And I input a bunch of test scores into my spreadsheets. While listening to Harry Potter.
After work, I did nothing. I'm in a bit of a school slump and it can't last any longer. I've got a discussion post to write for this week. And my interview is due this week. And I've got to start looking into a research paper that I'm assuming is due fairly soon and I haven't a clue what it is about. And I've got a metadata assignment due in a couple weeks I think that involves the creation of metadata records. And I've got my group project to work on. I think the overwhelming number of things has paralyzed me. I need to start chiseling away, taking baby steps. It's too early in the semester to be so overwhelmed.
Tomorrow. More testing. Then Chipotle and videos. And then serious schoolwork action.
