5:47 a.m. - The last grandchild left after 8 p.m. last night, so I immediately went to bed.  Those grandchildren keep me young, but they also are Energizer bunnies!  I didn't sleep well last night, as my legs are blocks of cement, which isn't surprising.  I'm hoping a little time in the hot tub this morning will loosen them up.  And a Tylenol won't hurt either.  

I did get a lot accomplished yesterday - camper parked, pool cleaned, yard mowed, all good stuff.  The Bears lost again, so I'm glad I didn't waste my time watching them play.   

Only three officiating nights this week...Thursday evening can be time to get ready for the camping trip to Fort Madison this weekend. 

Things for School

• enter lesson plan for 10-3-23
• enter SAT reading scores - 2 - Danforth, 5 - Hoteling
• Encourage PSAT students to take a practice test through Bluebook on their Chromebooks
• You must sign in.  
• Select PSAT NMSQT
• Time starts when you begin.
• Under triple dots....save and exit...timer stops and work is saved...
• 4 practice tests in Bluebook?  I haven't verified that yet.
• starts with module 1 R&W (27 questions)
• Can retake practice tests?  I think so.
• If a student notices that their exam questions are getting easier rather than harder, they might think that they’re doing poorly on the exam and become more focused on how they’re performing than on doing their best. In general, the stress of not knowing how challenging the next part of the exam will be could increase test overall anxiety.
