A different kind of productive - Day 2

Well I am sure glad I moved my IEP work to this morning, because I didn't have the energy or capacity for it this afternoon. I got done what I can without more feedback. So now I wait.  Probably 1/3 of the way done at this point, which is okay for a Tuesday.

Spent a long time today getting my OneNotes to a place I feel good about them and they feel slightly intuitive for parents who may be supporting students for the first time. I also had to figured out what Academic skills looks like online and I decided about the same as school.  Mostly independent work time with para support, some 1:1 check ins, calendar work and planning tasks and then an SEL lesson around kindness because if you can choose to be anything, be kind.

On to meetings for Alg 2 followed by Targeted math.  I need to figure out what my roles is in Alg 2 given the online setting.  What I thought I could do, I am realizing would be too much given how much case management work I am doing 😖 but I still want to support my students. Tomorrow's goal is to talk more with Alg 2 and see if they need someone to track down videos and resources as supplemental aids- because that I can do.

Connected with my kids (after 7 months in my classroom they are not my students, they are my kids). I sent emails home to my caseload and got responses from students.  It was wonderful.

Sent out first set of tentative plans, class structures and supports to parents for my Targeted Pre-Alg class.  Thankfully I get to keep the same format that they kids have been using all year so hopefully out of all of my classes this is the group that struggles the least as its in a presentation format and model that they are use to. Fingers crossed.

Today I also braved Target after work...it was INTERESTING. Didn't have to choice had to pick up meds.  Entire aisles had been removed- soap, cleaners, toilet paper. The shelves were totally removed.  I was able to get some frozen veggies though which is good because Safeway has been out.

I will do my best to not go out unless I am taking a walk and just enjoy the solidarity of home life with the hubby.  

Accountability for tomorrow: Figure out Alg 2. Talk to leadership about balance of case-management and co-teaching. And then when I look at my schedule I think I have meetings all day....joy...
