I actually took Saturday and Sunday off for a quick trip with Hubby to Atlanta to photograph some Civil War battlefield sites for a presentation he does. Which means that all the papers and projects I need to grade are sitting here...waiting to be graded.
So, aside from laundry, I'm spending today grading work.
My mom asks me how come I have so much grading this year. It's not that we're giving out more work, because we aren't. It has to do, yet again, with more kids. That, combined with the fact that nearly every planning period lately has been taken up with either a evaluation meeting, a 504 meeting, a parent meeting, or whatnot. There's barely enough time to get labs and activities set up, let alone any grading.
So, I bring the grading home. At least that means I can multi-task. Laundry - grade - play with cats - laundry - grade - play with cats...and if I'm lucky, I'll get it all done and have some time to knit or read, too things, I'm way behind in.

Yeah, about 1/3 of my students have various special needs (IEP, 504, ESOL). I'm OK with that, but the meetings are really taking up a lot of time that I need to have to plan, set up/take down labs, find materials, and grade.
yes, I spend a lot of time grading too. ugghhh.
