All things considered, I'm in good shape. I've got the review guides for the grammar up on the Sharepoint now. I've had the vocab and notes up forever. I need to update the parent portal grades, grade the final OMAM study guides, add the extra credit grades for Pattern Projects, enter the OMAM questions for the final, compile the final, and deal with a few last-minute make-ups. Still, I should have substantial time during finals to try to plan ahead for the Jurassic Park unit.
I'm a little burned out I think, from all the excitement of the break. I think I need a break from breaks! I feel like I need a distraction so I hope I can spend some time looking for new outlets during the next few days. I think I would enjoy surfing a bit and looking for new ideas, including looking back at some old posts to get grounded. I still haven't given up on some of the more ambitious ideas about creating simulations and game-based learning, but I need to see something concrete to build off of.
BTW - played quizshow for the first time in a while with the kids for final exam review. It certainly added a lot of adreniline. Hopefully it also made clear the extent to which some kids are going to need to go to prepare for the test.
Got the big rejection on Jurassic Park audiobook, so I guess I have to find a copy of the paper (wha?) book in order to read this. Well, hungry and tired aren't the most motivating feelings in the world. Back to you tomorrow.
