To the contrary, Monday was a grueling, full day of work. We spent the day with state DOE and district folks, re-writing our new, obligatory, standardized test and the bevy of accompanying paperwork. By the end, I was stressed out and bitchy.
Tuesday was a second day of fun times with standardized test writing, as well as finishing grading a four part test for 150-ish kids and a two part test for around 100 kids. And, entering all of those grades in the system.
Wednesday brought a new type of hell, with posting additional end of year grades for all 250 plus kids as well as determining the amount of growth each child accomplished, via heavy data entry on Excel spread sheet and additional entries in the system to report this growth. And cleaning up the desk and doing the check-list.
Thursday was supposed to be the first day of summer! Yet, the district requested another day from us. That morning, I took Lola to the vet for her Health Certificate for international travel. She nearly trashed the place and by the end, she was panting, I was sweating and shaking and the vets were looking at both of us like we were nuts. We left with the certificate. Later in the day I reported to the district offices to finish our work.
Friday, I prepared for vacation. Late in the day I received a message that the district required still more alterations to our rubrics for our standardized test. It could be completed via email, but some forms needed to be signed, at the office, within the hour.
Saturday, at seven a.m., Alec, Lola and I pulled out of the driveway and drove to Mexico.
