I should be using this time to get ahead on lesson plans.
I could be cleaning my house.
Instead, I find myself doing a lot of the following…
Now that we’re home and settled in, I’ve found myself sleeping in late and only changing my clothes after showering late in the day.
I’ve also succumbed to nap attacks.
To my credit, I’ve been thinking about the first big lesson plan I have to write for my Reading Endorsement class. I have three biggies to write, and they are the culmination of the entire coursework I’ve been making my way through for my reading certification. The hardest part is coming up with an idea for phonemic awareness. How in the heck do you teach that to high schoolers? I’m confident that God will help me come up with an answer to this life-changing question, eh? LOL
My goal is to get, at minimum, one lesson plan finished. I’m going to go for two, leaving only one to complete after we start back at school.
Hence the sleep…my bit of escape from reality while allowing my brain to ruminate on the plans I need to write.
I’m seeing music somewhere in the lesson.
I’m also seeing more power naps during my final week of Christmas vacation.
