Update Link: You’re Not Sorry – Part 50

Let’s kick this marathon off 🙂

I really think we’ll finish this story by the end of the marathon, but I also thought this story would only be 50 parts at most, so what do I know?

I’m spending this weekend planning the rest of the marking period and even working on unit plans for the rest of the year. It feels so good to be looking at the big picture stuff again and not stressing over the nitty gritty details of what am I going to teach tomorrow? This is the first year when I’ve given myself permission to actually let the majority of December-January be media/book content and not try to teach new material. I already feel like how that change is going to be really helpful next year in making the schedule. Every year I teach, I learn new ways to make life easier, and after next year, I won’t have to add new courses (which also means I lose that extra money writing curriculum but that’s stress for later) so we are in the home stretch.

A note on times —

Saturdays, I think writing at 1, posting at 2 will generally be the sweet spot. Sundays, should be similar but might move earlier. Monday – Friday, when I’m working, I’m hoping to write at 4 or 5 PM depending on the schedule, and days off (like Thanksgiving and next Friday) will depend on energy.

Next Saturday, I have my Praxis exam (will stress explain this later) so I’ll be updating earlier that day.

See you tomorrow 🙂
