Thursday, March 2

6:22 a.m. - Well, it looks like the big snowstorm is going to miss us and head east tomorrow.  While a Friday snow day doesn't sound all that bad, not making up the day at the end of the school year sounds pretty good too.  

Yesterday went fine...pretty routine as I'm getting back in the swing of not officiating basketball.  The Rockridge Rockets defeated the Rock Falls Rockets last night to set up the big showdown with Princeton.  That should be a heck of a game.  Court Lawson plays for Princeton, and he had previously played at Rockridge.  Princeton has everything - size, speed, shooting.  Rockridge probably isn't as athletic, but the Rockets also have size and shooting.  

Today I'd really like to get started on scoring those essays.  I may be going with Shawn to the girls state championship games in Bloomington on Saturday, so my time over the weekend to do those essays will be limited.  I really don't want to spend all day Sunday pouring over them.

Things to do for school

• create and post a lesson plan for March 3
• score Formal Essays #3 assignments and enter in Lumen
• March 3 - Check in day for EN102
• 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

• receive mileage payment from IHSA ...few weeks
• make sure I'm paid for Rockridge basketball game
