It's the end of 1st quarter & Service Day is tomorrow. Trying to figure out all of the details for our Service Day projects (& possible rain) feels like a lot. The worst part of the end of the quarter is trying to figure out which kids are missing work and whether they've turned it in or not.

# data[].attributes.headline
Service Day is tomorrow, the end of the quarter is tomorrow, and grades are due at 9AM Wednesday. I have about 150 pages of essay grading to still do before then and my Koinonia group is coming to my house tomorrow. :)

We had a successful Fall Play weekend last weekend (Murder on the Orient Express), and it was phenomenal! This week is the end of the 1st quarter, so we have tests going on today and tomorrow. But I am here, so prepping for that took a lot of time.
My good friend from college is getting married on Saturday, so I have to leave school early tomorrow to get there. But prayers of thanksgiving for that.
And then to top it all off, my best friend had her first daughter on Wednesday! Lila Louise is my "niece" and I love her dearly, and hope to meet her soon!

But yeah, everything all at once.

This is pretty fresh in my mind, yesterday we worked on Auction centerpieces in my classroom for our service day here at Trinity.  I think I strongly underestimated the sheer amount of work, and the workability of the students I had helping.  They all worked hard, but not necessarily fast:)  Sooo...we have much to do still...awkward laugh.

Every year with our school musical, I learn something new! Tech week is always a challenge, but this year has been unique. Getting through five hour rehearsals can bring lots of fun, but it also brings high emotions and lots of tired kids (and teachers!). We are all excited for our shows this weekend though!

With my students, we are currently half way through an interactive Google Doc so the day runs smooth with a substitute teacher in the room, and they will have all of the information I would usually give them verbally! And we are currently adding in a paper slide show to an existing Google Slide Presentation with our Freshman Basic Skills class, it is going to be a new process for many of the kids.

Unfortunately, I don't have anything exciting to share...it's been busy. But, I am starting to plan a special devotional sharing project (Google

We are A WEEK AND A HALF FROM SHOW DAY and the set isn't quite finished... so my job is stressful right now.
That being said, I have been able to use Google Docs, Drive, and Sheets to better coordinate so many different aspects of the show and the behind-the-scenes work that the director does. So that's awesome!

After our last meeting I used the Edpuzzle live in my room. It was very easy and the kids really enjoy it. I liked that I knew they were engaged and actually watching. I've used it several times since and the kids seem to still be engaged. Made elearning planning easier too.

We had a "Teach the class for the day" project in our Old Test Curriculum and I suggested that we convert the project to be a self paced exploratory project. No one wanted to try... So I did it myself! Groups of students created websites about selected Plagues of Egypt.

The projects weren't the best... But they really enjoyed the project, which I will count as a win!!!

I will keep the slides presentations. This allowed me to put writing and speaking into one project, with allowing the kids to be creative.
I will kick doing 4 novels in Spanish 4. They missed grammar and vocab, so I will do 2 novels, using the high frequency words as vocab while reviewing grammar and introducing new points that appear in the novels.

Keep: Planning things ahead so that I can continue to leave right away after school.  Linking things in Google Doc lesson plans & putting in comments for next year.

Kick: Making kids do all parts of the digital labs.

I want to keep editing and adding to my tests for Google Forms. I want to keep improving my feedback for the kids so they can keep getting better and better.

But also, I turn 30 (soon) this year, and I want to be better about getting up and going. Doing exercise classes at the gym, or taking time to go for a walk every day. I would love to be more involved at school, but I also understand I have to have limits. But I am planting roots here. I want this year to be focused on healthy roots, and that starts with healthier choices. Here's to year 30! 😬🥳

My class is in the middle of a world religion project. I am not allowing Google slides or poster boards for their final presentation. I look at this as both a keep and kick. So far they are using google paper slides, podlit, iMovies, etc. So we will see after break how well they all go.
