To Do List

It's really a shame when an escape day like Disney Day is interrupted by text messages and voicemails and more text messages from colleagues. Without going into all the reasons why I am feeling overwhelmed with work, here is my to-do list.

Grades Are Due Feb 21--

• 7th grade narrative rough drafts (about 75 of them)
• 6th grade book reports (25)
• 6th grade narrative final drafts (25)
• 7th grade book reports (75)
• 8th grade persuasive final drafts (12)
• late work
• overflowing basket of class work

In addition 

• fund-raise for Europe trip
• prepare myself for Europe trip (this is a whole other to-do list)
• plan for STAR writing prep (which I don't teach) 
• plan for Portfolio Prep (which I do) (also, this involves finding appropriate video clips) (also, it's likely this weeks lesson will be observed by the special tour)
• clean my classroom and make it presentable for special tour on Thursday
• make sub plans for Monday
• put in sub job for Monday
• plan out 8th grade essay 
• review benchmark exams before Wed
• figure out who is going to 6th grade camp
• buy 2 copies of Eagle Strike and 5 copies of The Devil and his Boy or whatever it was
• upload yearbook photos
• plan 8th grade Parent Exhibition Meeting

I'm sure there's more. But I have to go read papers, now.
