Today, Amber is working at Shivers, so I'm going to make a run at scoring research papers. I know I haven't really done much with them, and students are probably wondering why. I just haven't had them on a priority list because if I'm going to have "online hours" starting next week, I really want something to do. I don't foresee live sessions each class period, nor do I expect to receive a rush of emails from excited, motivated students.
11:41 a.m. - So far I have completed our 2020 census, the Google form questionnaires for the training path presenter series, and I just finished an EMeet session with the English Department about academic award winners. I think it's time to get off my rear and go for a jog...pavement looks wet, but I don't think it's raining, so I'm going to go outside.
Jay's NEW NORMAL WORK DAY SCHEDULE (in development)
In order to attempt to keep a sense of normalcy, I think I'm going to try to establish a 1:30 dismissal schedule to each day.
Prior to 8:10 a.m.
- wake-up, feed animals, make a cup of coffee, watch the morning news (usually around 6 a.m.)
- stretch and exercise (varies) and clean kitty litter
- weigh myself and enter weight in the Google spreadsheet
- check banking account online and make any changes needed to Google Spreadsheet
- shower, shave, and get dressed for the work day.
8:10-8:46 - 1st period English III
8:51-9:23 - 2nd period Advanced English III
9:28-10:00 - 3rd period Advanced English III
10:05-10:37 - 4th period English III
10:42-11:14 - 6th period Study Hall
11:19-11:55 - 7th period English III
12:00-12:55- 5th period PREP
1:00-1:30 - C Lunch
Things for today
- Possible
- stretch and get a work out in (completed before 7 a.m.)
- get another walk, jog, bike in later in the day
- Scheduled
- GoogleMEET at 11:00 a.m. - English teachers
- The best news to watch if you don't want the sensationalism is the local news.
- Based upon what science and health officials seem to be saying, it seems like we are in Week 2 of shelter in place, and are likely looking at least at another seven weeks. In the epicenter of the outbreak in China, the information I'm seeing is that they went 9 weeks before the virus infections and deaths started decreasing to the point where restrictions on movement were starting to relax. If the U.S. follows the models of China and other countries, we still haven't seen the worst of the spread.
Things I Could Do or Need to Do In the Future
- Get the lawn tractor ready to go - sharpen the blades.
- pick up my umpiring/officiating pants at Monster Sewing - was scheduled for this past Tuesday.
- Make Google Form of training path presenter series questionnaire to be available to students.
- Make a guidelines/expectations/tutorial of participating in Google Meets live session.
- English Dept. EMeet - 11:00 a.m.
- Tackle some "someday" topics on my Blogger list.
- Pick up the trash around the grounds.
- Finish course syllabus
Things For E-Learning
- Read a new book to the students.
- Use Google Meet
- Still could do (encore sessions) training path presenter series from videotaped sessions from past years.
- Still could do short stories unit
- Would need to get novels out to students to complete those units.
- Videotape a lesson and post to classroom.
- Still do journal write (not sure about share) using Blogger
- Still have Free Read Wednesdays (e ticket/slip?)
- Still can update EnvisonMe sites
