Saturday, March 11

7:22 a.m. - It's Saturday!  It's the first day of Spring Break!  We got paid yesterday!  Moline is in the championship game of the State Finals!  We're headed to Dubuque today on a little get-a-way with the basketball officiating crew!  All systems are go.

Yesterday, I had less than half of my students in attendance, and that was only because of baseball, softball, and track practice.  We didn't do much.  I went over the training path presenter series, and we watched high school basketball the rest of the class period.  I know that's not exactly great teaching, but when less than half of your students are there, it doesn't make sense to do much. 

I've never done an Air B&B thing, and that's what we are doing this weekend in Dubuque.  We have a couple of stops we want to visit, but the rest of the itinerary is up in the air.  I'm just hoping to have some fun and relax...celebrate all the hard work and long nights that went into the basketball officiating season. 

Things to do for school

• contact training path presenters
• work on research paper prompt
• Write an argument in which you select an historical figure you have encountered so far in English III or U.S. History that would prove to be an effective leader for the United States in 2023. In your argument include research of relevant background information of your selected individual, as well as her/his effective leadership traits (and if you believe those traits would translate to today's modern challenges).

Things to do

• Complete Iowa softball stuff
• QCOA Banquet - Wednesday, March 15 5 p.m. The Precinct Bar and Grill 1107 Mound Street, Davenport Iowa
