Thursday, February 16 - SNOW DAY!

6:41 a.m. - It's not snowing yet, but school has been cancelled.  We have grandchildren; I'm scheduled to work in Ottawa tonight...could be an interesting day.  I did sleep better last night.  Maybe I'll work on that softball exam today if I have a chance.  I'll need to get to the school sometime to set out my sub plans.


 Things to do for school

  • get sub plans set out; pick up softball exam questions
  • send training path update just to keep informed - next week
  • 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).

Wednesday, February 15

5:53 a.m. - Marcus got an assignment at the United 1A Boys Regional!  He sent a message yesterday informing me of this, and I'm excited for him.  The rest of the day was definitely strange.  We had a half-day of school, and students had varying levels of productivity.  Then our in-service was a series of games and challenges that was supposed to be fun for staff.  Finally, my regional game last night was a handful.  So in a nutshell, yesterday was challenging.  In the midst of all that in the afternoon, I received a message from the IHSA asking if I could go to Ottawa tomorrow night for another girls regional game.  Of course I will go, but the weather forecast doesn't look very good.

Today is a Wednesday...should be a quiet day in class.  Tonight I do not have a game, but I think Tucker and Rosie are spending the night.  And sometime tonight the snowstorm is supposed to start.

 Things to do for school

  • remind students about EN102 check in day on Thursday
  • Feb. 17 - dentist appointment - get sub plans ready - Mr. Hyett
  • print out sub plans
  • enter FRW scores
  • send training path update just to keep informed - next week
  • work on research paper prompt

Tuesday, February 14 - Happy Valentine's Day!

6:23 a.m. - No games yesterday, so Amber and I went our for some supper and gambling at Bally's to celebrate Valentine's Day since I won't be home tonight.  I'm headed to Dixon for a 3A Regional Girls game.  I'll be riding up with my partners Braeden Peters and Dave VanNest...both are good guys and good officials, so it will be nice.  I'm a little concerned about Friday, as the third partner scheduled with Dave and I hasn't responded to my email, and I just found out yesterday that I'm the "R" for that game.  He's a much more experienced official, so I wonder if he's not a very good official. 

Today is a half day, which means we have a half day of inservice.  I loathe inservice days.  My goal is to just survive.  Maybe I can squeeze a nap in sometime somehow.  I slept a little better last night, but I'm still not sleeping very well. 

I'd really like to get a boys sectional game.  Those assignments should come out later this week.  I don't think I will get a sectional game, but I would really like one.  

Believe it or not, softball is starting up.  The rules video and testing opens up today.  I think my first game is scheduled for March 13.

Yesterday at school I conferenced with the groups of students making presentations on Thursday.  Many of them are going to try to perform...many will not be successful.
