Grades Done

Well folks, semester grades are due tomorrow morning at 8 a.m., and I turned mine in at 2 p.m. today. Yup, ahead of schedule. It didn't take nearly as long as I had thought it would (although I did spend most of the Colts/Steelers game yesterday grading papers!).

Overall, I had a productive day. First off, I got through all my classes without many problems. Most classes in fact went well. As far as my to do list, I managed to do the following (in addition to teaching classes):

• Put all "New" grades in the computer. Yup, grades from yesterday's grading session had to be entered in the computer
• Calculated semester grades
• Printed out semester grades for the office. This was actually more difficult than it sounds because our network printer is down, and I had to find away to get grades off the server and on to my computer that has a printer (which is not connected to the network).
• I finished all my copying for this weeks classes. Yup, I have everything copied in advance so I don't have do any last minute copying. Copying included tomorrow's ESCI test and PSCI test, today's Chem Study Guide, Friday's Chem Lab, Science Fair info for 8th grade, Bio Review Worksheet, Bio Study Guide, and the Biology test.
• Finished putting together the PSCI science fair packet of information.
• Started and finished the Earth Science Notes we will start Wednesday.
• Served ice cream to the 9th Grade during lunch.

Now for what I didn't accomplish today:

• Chapter 9 chemistry notes
• Advanced Biology notes on apraxias, aphasias, and other neat brain things
• Grading some papers from last week

Yup busy day. Hopefully tomorrow will be less busy.
