1:40 p.m. - This is a late start to the blog today. Amber and I are helping Kenzie and Darren with daycare of their two little girls, and I now have a better appreciation for what teachers and parents are going through in this shelter-in-place time period - trying to entertain and keep the little ones safe and be available for students is a challenge. I finally got a chance to stretch and do my 10-minute sit-ups routine, when the two little buggars finally got tired and took a nap. The staff meeting this morning included one or the other or both at times on my lap while I was listening in. I also was able to "grade" the first little activity of the e-learning coursework for the English III students. I'm having students use blogger to create a blog that we are going to use each week for journal write purposes. Some of the students struggled to get it all figured out, and there are a few yet not completed, but we are getting close. I'm hoping to get outside and maybe get a walk or jog. It's chilly and windy and gray today, though, so I might get relegated to the treadmill.
