Daily Journal - Thoughts on Testing--Nope, Thoughts on Goals

 Hello Blog,

I'm right in the middle of things, but I need to journal or I'll forget.

Ok, that was fully interrupted.  I got a call after 20 seconds of writing that I needed to leave school right then.  So...it's now 3:40 in the morning.  I'm really bad right now about having Canvas updated.  I have a few more things to grade on Canvas, and a couple students who turned things in on Canvas will be mad at me if they look at Focus.  I just needed to put in some numbers so it wasn't blank!  I promise, I'll go on Canvas tomorrow after school, first thing!

I need to also make a plan for my Goal Sheet.  If my first semester goal is to compile all the notes from my journals about my Book Characters, so I can start making a story board, then I need to get a good place to compile all those notes.  I might need to print them and put them in a binder, so I can hole punch them and re-order them.  That will be a little bear.  I'll need to catch up with Canvas first.  And taxes.  And grading.  Oh boy, it never ends!  LOL at least I have creative writing assignments to read now.  English 1 assignments are 90% students who are writing just what they have to, either aiming for a C or for an A.  It's rare to get someone giving me "extra".  Well, Creative Writing is the other way around.  I have a few students who need the extra support, or who are lazy.  The rest: I'm getting some good stuff!  I need to keep an eye on those students who need the extra support.  I sometimes--often--take my creativity for granted.  Not everyone can think as quickly as I, and most students don't have the vocabulary.  I'll work on it.  :)

Ok, it's 3:45 am.  I could push through, but I should go to bed.  Plus, I don't want these journal entries to be too long, or the students will accuse me of cheating them longer than 10 minutes just to make them feel bad!  Goodnight blogger, and Pandora music!
