I'm Back

2:04 -- Brain Break Complete

• Time: took 27 minutes

Since I know all of you readers are dying to know what my work zone looks like, I have included a couple of pictures.  Please note the following critical areas: snack table (currently includes: vitamin water, tea, beef jerky, sugar babies and red vines), remote/phone area, foot rest, quilt to support ideal body temperature and places for piles of student work ... 

 

and here's me, thinking about all the work I need to do ...

 

• Next Job: Create Math Report Cards -- not completely from scratch, but from semi-scratch in order to include the state standards/content areas we focused on during the second semester.  Then, begin writing math report cards.
• Task Analysis: create math template that reflects 15-20 skills/content standards + 28 math students x 15 skill areas x personalized paragraph x comments (from student and myself) regarding Personal Learning Plan math goal
• Estimated/Goal Time: 3 hours (30 minutes for template, 2 1/2 hours for report cards equals 5 minutes per report card)

• Bonus Challenge: My talented niece is performing in a School of Rock Stevie Wonder-themed concert this evening.  Therefore, regardless of my progress I have to be dressed to leave by 4:15.  Sometimes people must come before paperwork.
