Productivity

Can I just tell you how productive I have been today? It's almost not even funny.

First of all, I got my report cards done in time to pass them out today. And unless you work at Joanna-Woodson Elementary, you do not know the profundity of that statement. Let's just say it's a hard feat...especially when you don't get your report cards until after 11 AM (which happens to fall AFTER my planning period), and you still have to look through all of them to confirm grades, write down honor roll students, and stuff them in the envelopes. PLUS, you have to fill out a freakin' certificate for ALL of the honor roll students, stamp them with the principal's signature stamp, AND stamp a free admission ticket to a PC basketball game w/ the same stamp for each honor roll student. ALL of this WHILE STILL HAVING TO TEACH YOUR FULL LESSON PLANS!!

BUT...I got it done. My kids had a lot of independent work today. ;)

ALSO, I finished my rubric which I need for tomorrow, gave my list of topics to the librarian so she can pull the books we need for research tomorrow, AND took care of a student transfer.

PLUS, I even had to finish aforementioned lesson plans before 3:00 PM today!

NOT ONLY THAT, but I WALKED to the YMCA, rode the stationary bike for 10 minutes, walked/ran on the treadmill for 35 minutes, and then WALKED back home. (From the Y to my house, it is approximately 1 mile. Therefore, I walked the equivalent of 4 miles today and biked the equivalent of 2 miles. That's a lot of damn miles.)

OH BUT WAIT...I also went to Wal-Mart to buy supplies to make research folders, and sat down and made 13 out of the 20 I need for tomorrow. :-D The only reason I stopped is because A) I can ACTUALLY get to bed at 11:00 PM (my "normal" bedtime), and B) I ran out of tape. I have to finish tomorrow with my tape at school.

So yeah. Talk about one little productive biatch over here. Most of you who really know me ought to be damn proud!!

Oh, and PS--I had my mid-year evaluation conference with my principal this year (since I'm going through TEAM, and all) and I passed ALL 10 of the performance dimensions in ADEPT for first semester!! GO ME!!
