It's after 9 p.m. on a Monday night, and, as far as work goes, I actually have plenty to show for it.
Let's face it - I don't usually buckle down, make assessments, and plan lessons this early in the week, but with the promise of Christmas break lingering over my head (and the many, varied, and unusual plans with friends and family between now and then), I decided I'd do the leg work now and enjoy putting my "free time" to better use later.
Plus, who doesn't love learning about the differences between heat and temperature (in addition to the 3 main types of heat transfer) on a Monday night? Pretty great stuff, right?
All science lesson plans (and quizzes) until Christmas? Check! (And Amen!)
As for the rest of the week, things are shaping up quite nicely - volleyball tomorrow, final Strengths meeting on Wednesday, weekly wing night on Thursday...and then the weekend!
(Oh, and I guess I better start thinking about getting those Christmas cards signed, sealed, and delivered...)
So much to look forward to. So much to feel blessed about this holiday season.
P.S. - FINALLY started listening to Christmas music (even to the radio on the way home), and, surprisingly, my favorite music so far has been the Instrumental Holiday Radio on Pandora - it's so relaxing and beautiful to have on in the background while doing work. And it's not at all distracting since there are no words!
"I have no idea where I am going; I do not see the road ahead of me. I cannot know for certain where it will end. Nor do I really know myself...But I believe that the desire to please you does in fact please you. And I hope that I have that desire in all that I am doing. And I know that if I do this, you will lead me by the right road though I may know nothing about it. Therefore will I trust you always..." -Thomas Merton
I have come to fall in love with teaching in Catholic schools. What are YOU in love with?...
