2 more hours to go for parent teacher conferences this evening. I've been fortunate to have some very good conversations with parents, some of which needed to happen, others which were just genuinely pleasant conversations.

Students, in some cases, spend more time with me each week than their parents and that is a responsibility I do not take lightly.

I can't believe I'm actually pissed that I get free time instead of my 8th grade block this morning. I didn't check the schedule and they have puberty ed. I had just started talking about the Iranian Revolution, and I also planned to do part of my 'time change through Star Trek opening titles' lesson. Boooooooo. #teaching

Full day of teaching followed by day 1 of spring parent-teacher conferences. So, today is a 13 hour day, but tomorrow is a half day for students so we can round out grades before spring break.

Tests in 4 of 5 classes today.

Quiet day overall. Need to apologize to a class for losing my temper yesterday and own up to not remaining professional in front of them.

We'll wrap up the unit tomorrow before heading into a much needed spring break.

Group review today, test tomorrow, corrections/wrap up Wednesday, then a half day Thursday for chem students heading into spring break.

Advanced chem is finishing their Ksp calculation lab and then will take a short, maybe open note, test thing to finish equilibrium basics.

Web dev is finishing their independent project and I have no idea what they're doing the rest of this week. I may give them some generic HTML that they choose to style just to practice some CSS.

Here's something I rediscovered in my back catalog for teachers and/or board gamers:

Once upon a time, I used Inkscape to remove the colours from a set of PDFs that Hasbro released for free. The idea being that you can now print them onto coloured A4 paper with a laser printer and have fat stacks of (pretend) cash.
