Wednesday, August 19

8:08 a.m. - School is cancelled the rest of the week.  I should probably just end my comments for the day there.

8:43 p.m. - I got a lot done today; and we are heading to West Lake tomorrow to spend the weekend in the camper - that will be a much needed get-a-way.

Things I Could Do or Need to Do In the Future
  • HS Staff Meeting on Monday, August 24th at 1:00 pm.  https://meet.google.com/mah-zdgj-isb?hs=122&authuser=0
  •  volleyball test - Illinois
  • Complete volleyball video and test - Iowa
  • Paint the shed.
  • Continue working on restoring the channel of the ditch.
  • Work on the trailer pad next to the house.
  • Replace seals and gaskets in the pool motor.
  • 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.
Things to do for Ms. Mitola
- provide calendar and other shared documents
- invite Mrs. Hasson to visit Ms. Mitola's classroom
- routinely evaluate her performance - form, informal, how many times per week?
- help her with professional portfolio
- meet/talk with CS student teacher supervisor
- by second week of September - Ms. Mitola takes over advanced sections
- by end of September - Ms. Mitola has all sections
- by second week of December, I take over all sections and Ms. Mitola wraps up

Things to do for school
- form Khan Academy groups of students for sections
- start to "long term plan" where Mrs. Mitola will take over 
- figure out FREE READ WEDNESDAY - to begin Wednesday, August 26
    - could use the book that I made video/audio recordings of over the summer - Rest of the Story
    - Mrs. Mitola could pick a book after that...
- update Association records and work on membership stuff

Prayer for My Heart
Holy Spirit...
Help me have... 
    a pure heart, that I may see;
    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. 
                                                                     Amen
