Today was different. Today I was incredibly productive. Way more productive than I thought I would be. Maybe not in the ways I'd planned. Certainly didn't follow my agenda for the day as meetings were added. Parents were nervous and schedules needed to be finalized.
I had 3 meetings today- for me that's even a lot. The first one, rather unproductive, but it got me set for the day. The next 2 were both for the math department and left me feeling really good about the people I work with and what I do. Everyone is coming to Online extended learning opportunities- or whatever we are calling them today, with a really open mind and positive outlook of how we can use this time to support the learning of students who have previously struggled. As a special education teacher this makes me feel warm and fuzzy inside.
Completed an outline of one of my classes for administration. (Aka sending in lesson plans to prove I'm really working)
Answered many flustered parent emails. I understand their frustration. I am frustrated too. I wish I had more information. I'm sorry.
Finished off para assignments for the next 5 weeks. Those of you who work with me. It's a big change. We are still figuring out what it looks like. Please just give grace. I am very proud of the people I work with for taking on this challenge though.
I worked from 7:30-3:30 with a 45 minute break for lunch. Even with all the distractions of home. (I don't have kids, you guys that do are super heroes) Just a husband who also works from home.
Goal for tomorrow:
My plan for the day was to get at least half of an IEP done. They usually take me 5 hours to write and this is crappy timing. I got about 30 minutes done today. I will try that again tomorrow. I have 2.5 hours set aside for it...we shall see if I get to keep it for that purpose.
