Productive and educational (no pun intended) week. Completed a lot of prep for the new #k12 school year. Have more new (to our school) #EnglishLearners than I expected, so that's great news.

As always, looking forward to #AdultESL this weekend. Prepping for that now, then going to play some old-school #Quake3.

#ESOL #ESL

Feels like Friday. #ProfessionalDevelopment went well at work today. Meeting at the #CommunityCollege went well.

No #AdultESOL (#AdultESL) class this weekend, so don't have to prep or grade today.

I should exercise, but I think I'll finish John Wick 4 instead.

Just finished updating my class workbook for the next term of #AdultESL.

75 pages, including guided notes, worksheets, practice tests, assignment info, and misc extras.

Easy to do in #Linux, with #Inkscape, #LibreOffice, #TexLaTeX, and lastly #PDFArranger to put everything together.

(I didn't just make all 75 pages - tweaked and put together docs I've made over the years that I've been teaching this class.)

#AdultESL is between terms, so I have two weekends off! I love teaching the weekend classes, but I have a M-F job also. The 2 weeks off after 8 weeks of classes is a welcome break.

Wife took today off, so we're #baking / #cooking:

* bread
* pasta (new machine)
* udon
* scones

If there's any time left, I'll start prep for the next term. Always little tweaks to make to plans and materials, even after ~6 years of teaching the class.

#AdultESL term over for me today.

As with most classes, I had great students, from all over the world, this term (48 hours over 8 weeks).

Two weekends off, then start a new term with 25 new students. Can't wait.

Speaking of next term, it would be great if the school took Eid off, and not just Easter.

Currently doing Eng proficiency testing M-F in k12.

Okay, time to go study #español. One more chapter to do before class tomorrow.

#espanol #ESOL #LifeLongLearning #ProfessionalDevelopment

#Spanish class going well, but falling behind on the vocab (there is sooo much vocab). Also, I don't recommend working 7 days a week AND taking a college class on campus in the evenings. At least, not when you are in your 50s.

#AdultESL class ends this weekend, though, and then I have two weekends off. Plan to study Spanish vocab.

Currently only 7 signed up for next term, but it is still very early, so that's actually a lot.

Before I start grading #AdultESL students' writing journals and prepping for class tomorrow, here's a pic of my birthday strawberry shortcake from the #Japanese bakery.

#AdultESL #BasicEnglish class (that I teach) went well today.

#Spanish class (in which I am a student) is going well, but it is a lot of work. (#FlippedClassroom)

#StateTesting starts next week in my Mon-Fri #k12 job.

I'm going to be exhausted well before the end of May, I'm sure.

Normally, I teach Basic English is the summer, too, but not this summer. Taking the full 2 months off.

I only realized this week how busy I'm going to be this semester. K-12 Mon-Fri, then adult ESL on weekends, plus the Spanish classes 2 evenings during the week (and homework the other evenings). This is going to be a fun but busy semester.

Can't believe I thought I might have time to redo my slides for the adult #ESL classes. Not going to happen.

#AdultESL #ESOL #español

First day of (my section of) adult #BasicESL 6 at #CSCC. Full+ roster of 26 students. I've got everything prepped. Just waiting for class time.

I love all the classes, but especially the first one.

#BESL6 #AdultESL #Tesol #ESOL #ESL

Columbus State CC adult Basic ESL classes start up again tomorrow (2023-01-09). My weekend BESL 6 class is full!

So, today is last day having weekends off until March. (Weekdays I'm k-12 full time.)

I'm thinking watching some #StarTrek, maybe re-encoding some #Buffy with #Handbrake, and definitely playing some #IntoTheBreach.
