SOLSC #18 Burdened on a Sunday


Spring weather is here, my son is home for spring break, but the only "springing" I'll be doing today is from task to task on my school to do list...

I don't think there are enough hours today.

Report cards are due at end of March and I am so behind at entering data into Teaching Strategies Gold. No foolin', Maureen - you will make a big dent in this today!

[grumble, grumble, there is a lot of work that we have to do that takes us away from the children.]

A facelift is needed on all my current wall displays of children's work, in time for Thursday night's open house/Learning Showcase; I need to type up some of the verbiage here in the serenity of my home.  I should definitely make a list of all the little things I need to complete in time for Thursday - this is going to be one of those weeks when every day is jam-packed.

[grumble, grumble, there is a lot of work that we have to do that takes us away from the children.]

My Executive Director needs the current data on my children's skills in literacy and math. I need to figure out how to print these from Gold...hope it is obvious!

[grumble, grumble, there is a lot of work that we have to do that takes us away from the children.]

Write and send families my weekly summary. I need to share photos of our Phillips' panels!  Yes!

[grumble, grumble, there is a lot of work that we have to do that takes us away from the children.]

Need to update photos on our classroom "Shutterfly" account. This is long overdue...I don't think I've added any photos in six weeks or more... how did I get so behind?

[grumble, grumble, there is a lot of work that we have to do that takes us away from the children.]

Need to review my Resident's plans for math measurement lessons this week and give feedback.

[grumble, grumble, there is a lot of work that we have to do that takes us away from the children.]

Need to review our class plans through the end of the month (up until Spring break!) and update these as needed. I'm due to be observed again (this week? next?) - let's make doubly certain I have all my materials prepared and ready.  

[grumble, grumble, there is a lot of work that we have to do that takes us away from the children.]

Need to make sure I carve out time for my family, for me.  So that I am renewed and energized for this week ahead.

[grumble, grumble, how will I do that?]

  1. So true, so much to do that has little to do with the children. I loved all your grumbling, it just reminds us all that it is okay to feel this way, normal really. I hope you made a REALLY big dent!

  2. Seems to be a lot of this Sunday afternoon blues going around today. I just found out a meeting got cancelled so I am looking at my list and trying to figure out how I will use that time tomorrow morning. Wish is was sleeping in :)
