7:35 a.m. - After yesterday's institute day, I'm getting a better picture of what I think school is going to look like at least for this first nine weeks under the pandemic return-to-learn guidelines. Now the challenge is going to be to make past instructional efforts all digital/virtual for students that are not in attendance in a particular day, but also make the class period for students in attendance meaningful and engaging - doable for everyone and engaging for the 7-12 students that may be in class - this is not going to be easy. There are times that I really want to have all students in class for a particular activity, but I'm going to have to get over that. For students, this is going to be doable if they keep up with class each day. I'm going to recommend on their "off-days" that students join the live session during their respective class period. If that's not doable, then viewing the recorded session is an alternative. We are going to use a Chromebook on a table towards the front of the room to record the session, which should be out of view of students in the class.

- Possible Campground Sites
- Spring Lake Park - Macomb - not far, but I'm not sure what else might be available to do in the area.
- Scott County Park - nice thing about this is that there is the Rhythm City casino nearby.
- Dubuque? Not far, and there are casinos up there too.
- Galesburg Area...we could invite Mr. Johnson and Mr. Danner for an evening out.
- Lake Storey...you had mentioned this area, and it's not a long trip
- Galesburg East Campground - Knoxville, IL
- Cabin Fever - Victoria, IL
- Geneseo and Loud Thunder will both be pretty in the fall.
- Mount Carroll is where the Peterson's said we might want to try, and that's not a long trip. Timber Lake Resort...not sure if this is the right one...it's a little pricey, but we could splurge a little.
a humble heart, that I may hear;
a heart of love, that I may serve;
a heart of faith, that I may abide in the spirit.
