109/180 I'm Not Going to Throw Away My Shot

One of my goals this year is to keep up daily posts during the week.

It didn't happen this week.

Tuesday was crazy.

Just one of those days where every minute was planned.

Another goal this year is to stay on a daily routine during the week.

Burger gets his walk before I sign onto Zoom.

It's a nice start to our day when we do,

and helps with the stress of having a teen in your home.

Today's highlights...

8:20 Waking up teen who doesn't want to wake up.

9:00  Teach, encourage, sing, dance, and crawl 

because it's OT day.

Try crawling when it's your 34th year of teaching.

Not easy getting back up let me tell you!

12:00 Grab a quick lunch

because one of your intervention students can't come at 2:30

because she's at child care,

so you take her for some 1 to 1 tutoring at 12:30 instead.

You find out she knows so much more 

because in Zoom, she doesn't talk much,

but alone, you discover who she really is.

Followed by office hours, planning, answering parent messages

and updating your SeeSaw assignments.

Quick break to schedule a vet appointment

because your senior pup 

needs to remove a mouthful of teeth

and knowing that's where your tax return will go this year.

2:30 Intervention session number 2.

Where you get to really focus on your students

and their needs.

Lets start with A.

3:00 Intervention session number 3.

Where you get to follow your students

and let them guide you to where they need to go next.

3:30: Quick email check to find requests to post flyers and 

school information on social media sites, 

and remembering that you need to create a week of events

for next week's Virtual Read Across America.

Web search for ideas on creating a week of events for next week's 

Virtual Read Across America. 

4:00: Monthly STAC Zoom Meeting. Collaborating and sharing ideas

with the amazing Skirball Cultural Center Education staff and other 

classroom teachers.

4:45: Excusing self to make 5:10PM appointment.

5:07: Arrive at CSULA

5:30 Waiting in Lane 10.

5:45 Still waiting in Lane 10.

6:00 Still waiting in Lane 10.

6:16 Shot in arm. Thank you National Guardsman.

6:33 Done!

Coffee and Matcha Green Tea Latte break

with one of my favorite people

catching up on life, school, and possible side effects.

8:30 Late dinner for teen.

9:30 Time to work.

1:15 Time to call it a night.

At least my Virtual Read Across America flyer is done... in English

and Google Translated Spanish. It will have to do for now.

Until tomorrow...
