Saturday - Week 2

Hours Today - 4

Hours Total - 48

5/20


I didn't have any classes today. I spent most of my day in the theater working on a pair of shorts I started earlier this week. Then, I went to the cast party cookout that Charlie hosted at Davis for lunch. I got back to my dorm in the afternoon and started reading The Marrow Thieves. I read for a total of four hours. I took breaks while reading. I’m really glad I decided to read it because I normally read non fiction books so this is a good change from that.

  5/8 - 6:43 PM Total Hours - 3 I started the day by meeting Ellie at the dining commons to discuss my plans for senior project and what the classes will be doing for the next week. Then we went to the bookstore to get a copy of Born a Crime which is what the ninth graders are reading now. This took about 30 minutes. We met for her class during A block where they had a Harkness discussion so I observed that. We discussed the Harkness after class and this all took an hour and ten minutes. I went to my afternoon activity doing costumes for two hours. Then I spent an hour and twenty minutes grading homework. Ellie’s dog got into a fight with a porcupine so I did the two different homework assignments we discussed.

I normally prefer reading to audiobooks but Ellie had high praise for the audiobook and I like Trevor Noah so I chose to listen to it instead. What I enjoyed the most was class time and interacting with the students. I felt like I got to know them more and connect with them this week which was one of my main concerns. One of the first things that I learned was how missing a lot of sixth and seventh grade due to covid impacted the class of ‘26. Those two years are really critical to developing a lot of the skills used in school like writing. It took me some time to better understand where the grade is at in terms of their w

Ellie didn't have any classes today so I had more free time. I started the day by finishing grading the essay outlines and continuing the Path of Life Garden assignments. Then, I went to the theater and put stickers on my sewing machine which I've been meaning to do for a while. I spent a few hours working on the headpiece for Ada's court debut. Lillian Holley was there too for her senior project and we took Mosely for a walk. He was a very good boy. I spent the afternoon helping the cast get ready for the show. Then I went back to my dorm and did some more grading. I read Born a Crime for 2 hours.
