Forced Unpaid Vacation

So on this the first of five furlough days this is what I accomplished:
  1. Long walk with Dudley and mom in the gully.  No snakes spotted -- Thank heavens.
  2. Planned my methods class for Tuesday
  3. Set up Scholastic Book Clubs orders
  4. Updated Blog
  5. Organized guided reading groups
  6. Printed off labels for online math access
  7. Scheduled parent volunteers
  8. Organized my roll book
  9. Made a parent email list
  10. Finished all my beginning of year assignments to turn in to my principal
  11. Started to burn the primary CDs for the program
And it's only 4 pm

Next I'm off to work out with Lori and catch a class of water aerobics.

This has been an extremely productive no work/no pay day.  I always knew I'd get so much done if it weren't for the kiddos.

I think I've earned a movie from Red Box tonight.

  1. Sorry about the furlough day, but I'm glad you got a lot of things done. I kinda wondered why it wasn't just the day after Labor Day? At least it wasn't annoyingly in the middle of the week!

  2. Productive day, but still think its stupid that teachers like you have to take forced time off unpaid. Our education system is need of improvement but teachers are not the issue its the politics...
