FTP for page 1213.
Too much sadness at the end of the last page.
Fall colors are here! Let’s get out and enjoy them!
09/25/2020 at 6:37 am #2067233FTP for a “Staff Development” Friday. No classes for the kids today. Teachers have a virtual meeting and technology training.

Maybe you will learn how to use a GPS!
You better ace the test!

No, we learned how to use a program called edulastic, that nobody has time to use.

09/26/2020 at 7:45 am #2067236FTP Saturday Foggy morning out here Up North today. Dodged severe T-storms and a tornado warning last night. Had two downpours in about an hour. Thankfully I stopped painting early in the day.
I’d Rather Be Lost Geocaching, Than Found At Home!

Are you still in-person? AF Middle School shut down for two weeks, but the rest of the schools are still open for business. I’m virtual teaching and spending 12+ hours each day doing so. Two classes with kids in the morning and then switch to working with the virtual school: grading, troubleshooting, encouraging kids to keep working and contacting parents for the rest of the time. Throw in the Census job I have and it’s three full-time jobs for the pay of 1.5. We had 50 kids out for quarantine last week at the high school, but as fully staffed as we’ve been with just one teacher and the principal out. To my incomplete knowledge, nobody in our building has tested positive, but other buildings have each had cases.
I did another run to LaCrosse two days ago to get a new CPAP machine. Got there early, opened up the app and there was a cache across the street, and one two blocks away. The one across the street was a T5 that involved tree climbing. I’m not against that, but I couldn’t tell from the ground which maple trunk I would need to go up, although I did spot an apple up there. The other one was a D4 on a tank. I thought I had found it faster than T&B did, but what I found was still viable grease instead of a log. THen it was time to go to my appointment. Didn’t post a DNF at either.
It’s been a long time since I’ve spent time inside with another non-family member. It was quite scary. She made some off-hand remarks about people taking this too seriously after I had already indicated the high risk of death for my kids if they contracted COVID. I really don’t think she understood what she was saying.

Yes. We have had 2 staff members, that I’m aware of, (librarian and reading specialist) test positive. The second reading specialist was exposed to the first, so she self-quarantined for 2 weeks. All three come back to work tomorrow.
We attended our nephew’s wedding yesterday, and were among the very few people in the building that wore masks, including the venue staff and catering staff. There was even a sign at the entrance that said “Masks Optional.” Nobody said anything to us about our masks, but we did get a lot of “looks.”

09/28/2020 at 10:50 am #2067244I don’t wish to discuss technology, having spent the better part of this morning trying to send my video of my story for the Friends of the Mississippi River event this Thursday. Hopefully they now have it.
This, however, is big news, at least if you’re a birder. I am the proud owner of a state’s first breeding record for a species. Read more at this link….
09/28/2020 at 5:00 pm #2067245Congratulations, Gwyn! How exciting…and with fall migrations starting, birders like you must be anxious to be out and about with your binocs.
We traveled across the state to visit the grandkids this weekend…the color was absolutely awesome. I don’t remember them being this vibrant in recent years. Hope everyone has a chance to experience it soon 🙂Oconto...the birthplace of western civilization:)
09/29/2020 at 4:18 am #2067247FTP for September 29th. That’s awesome, Gwyn! What a challenging hobby, combining logic and reason with nature’s liklihoods and circumstance. I do enjoy seeing the common birds I expect as well as sometimes something unusual. Never anything that rare!
09/29/2020 at 7:45 am #2067248Today we’re discussing with our classes what to do if we switch to virtual school. Kids are still expected to be “in class” at our normal times and we take attendance. 8:15 math when they are at home could be very interesting.
The best sig is no sig.
09/29/2020 at 7:48 am #2067249Nice write up, Gwyn!
09/30/2020 at 6:30 am #2067250Congratulations, Gwyn. Can’t say I’d ever heard of black-bellied whistling ducks before, but that’s pretty cool. Or maybe it’s kind of scary. I have to wonder if this range expansion is due to climate change.

09/30/2020 at 7:30 am #2067251Working 12 hour days is getting to be too much, and I just saw my schedule and classes for next trimester. Guessing social distancing isn’t a concern, each class is double the size of what I have now.

I hear ya. I spent all day on Sunday getting caught up and writing lesson plans for the week. Now I’m probably 3 – 4 hours behind in grading.
