I'm so tired. I went to bed late
last night and wasn't tired enough so I ended up just laying there.
I would say a generous estimate would be four hours of sleep last
night. It was probably closer to three. But I still got up at six
o'clock and ran on the elliptical. Like a boss. Or an idiot.
It was good being back at work. I
would have enjoyed it more if I wasn't so tired. The main bonus was
that it seemed most of the kids were also tired so they weren't too
crazy. This morning I helped with literacy centers in both
kindergarten classes. I also sent out a bunch of emails, including
one to the teachers letting them know about my word searches, and one
to the sixth grade teachers so they can send a letter home and we can
start getting pictures in for the end of the year slideshow.
Starting in the morning and
finishing in the afternoon, I created testing sessions for MAP. I
still need to go back and tweak things when accommodations are
figured out, but I painted in broad strokes to make things easier
when the testing window draws nearer.
By the end of the day I had run out
of things to do and started messing with ideas for the end of the
year slideshow. I want to do something different with the
background. The last two years I've done wood and I want to change
it up. I'm thinking blackboard (or greenboard) with the names
written in a chalk-like font on each slide. I've got quite awhile to
figure it all out.
I “fixed” an iPad today by
charging it. I enjoy the simple fixes. I joked with the teacher
beforehand about charging it and she said it wouldn't charge. At the
end of the day when I took it back to her, after charging it, I joked
again and asked her if she made sure the charger was plugged into the
wall.
After work my mom had a new dining
room table and chairs as well as a new buffet/entertainment cabinet
delivered to the house. Thankfully it didn't involve any heavy
lifting on my part, other than moving the TV. Everything looks
really nice and goes better with the rest of the house.
Tonight I played a little Tera
and watched some videos. Now I
might watch a livestream for a bit before going to bed. Along with a
headache, I've also got a sore throat. A great way to end my first
day back with a bunch of sick kids. Tomorrow, who knows.
Hopefully teachers come up with some stuff for me to do. My friend
is interested in learning more about celestial navigation so I also
plan on researching books about that. And probably messing more with
the slideshow to keep me awake if I can't find anything else to do.
