So I’m sick. It’s the weekend after the first week of school. I think I might have a mild flu virus. But when talking about the flu, it’s never really mild. I don’t know what this means for work, but I’ll make it through the day… I’ll have to. I really don’t want to take a day off. Luckily, I’m planned up through the first part of the week.
I’ve realized that “backwards planning” for school is really the only way to go. This last week I’ve struggled with a few of my classes. The backwards design for my Lit blocks are difficult to plan for. It’s a block for SSR, but I find it be a block that is hard to find actual meaningful readings that will better the kid’s reading skills. But, I know this will change within the next few weeks.
As for designing, I’m pretty close to being done coding Deer Hill Expeditions.
The blog took forever to design (above are pictures of the blog). The functionality is great. On the blog index page I have the thumbnails which I stole from another theme. The inserting of the thumbnail is tricky and not user friendly for the user who will be using the blog. I found a few plugins, but none of them fit the thumbnail size.
My mind is up in the air… maybe it’s because of medicine.
