Unit plans, arts and crafts...

I am having an unproductive day so far. Well, I have 'taught' 2 classes, so it's not entirely unproductive, but the non-contact hour I'm now nearing the end of has been less than brilliant. I hesitate to say that I really taught much today as the pedagogical content of my lessons consisted of 'work on your assignments', then making a little label out of duct tape for the front of a folder and playing the second episode of the Triffids to my class. I guess I did update my year plan for Y9, and make a (retrospective mostly) year plan for Y11, 12 and 13. They now live in front of my plan book, which I must write some sort of lesson plans in before ERO get here on Monday. I also need to write 4 more unit plans today, but I've got lunch time and period 5 to do that. Then I'll be 90% ready to be ERO'd and have all the required paperwork :) I am feeling a little crafty today. I want to do simple boy-solution craft tasks (like cutting out letters and numbers from red duct tape, and putting different spacing holes into a clear file pocket so it fits into my planner and such). Maybe it's just editing-withdrawal fidgeting? Lastly, Debbie has blogged about stuff. The wonders of taking a day of school. She also did all kinds of awesome stuff around the house, and even made me a delicious after-school snack when I got home. It made me seriously consider the economics of Debbie quitting her job and being a shufu :)
