Ahhhhhh! School is 5 weeks in, I just did two late nights of parent teachers conferences, saw 31 parents-only one parent which I really needed to see- my student council is putting on Homecoming next week and haven't posted a spirit day sign. Oh, and I FORGOT that my firstborn, precious 2nd grader turns 7. Yes FORGOT about her birthday and am trying to make it up by hosting fiesta night at my house tomorrow night.
Oh, and did I mention, I am in the throes of trying to develop a groundbreaking, thought provoking, multi-discipline research project that has some facet which will enable teachers to grade using the required Marzano scale with color coding to simplify our lives? Ummm, here's where I'm at. I'm going to have a list. A big, fat hairy list of all 10th graders, which I can't access because I'm a teacher. I don't have the authority to get any class list but my own. As I await that, I have the luxury of writing/tech guru, Troy Hicks, making me grading spreadsheets. I kind of feel like those people on Flipping the Block who get famous designer's help on their room, but don't actually win that week.
I'm definitely not winning this week...I feel like I might actually die. It's kind of like if I was asked to do math homework...I have a stomach cramp.
