It felt great to be back in my weekend #AdultESOL class today. Class went well, and they loved #SuperJintori. I'm not sure the English name, but it is a fast-paced card game good for practicing new vocabulary.

And, I'm sick. Came on fairly suddenly. Headache, aches and pains, etc.

Had to cancel #AdultESOL class this morning. Getting a sub at 7:30 Saturday morning of a 3-day weekend is not easy. (Shocking, right?)

Might have to cancel tomorrow also, if we still can't find a sub.

#AdultESOL went well this weekend.

Updating my workbook for next term. Probably won't get all the new unit slides ready, but don't have to - can switch out a few each term until the workbook is mostly completely updated.

Using #LaTeXBeamer for the slides, of course.

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.

Adult Basic ESL class went well today. We took yesterday off for Eid. It is always weird having only 1 class on a weekend.

Did more work on my #Spanish final exam practice test generator. Squashed a few bugs, think it is working pretty well now.

Time to actually study for #español #espanol class for tomorrow.

I have today off (no #AdultESOL class), but wife is at work.

I might finally be able to watch #TWIT #ThisWeekInTech live today.

#AdultESOL class went well today. No class tomorrow (because Christian holiday).

For some reason, I am exhausted. Maybe it is because I don't have to prep for tomorrow, or next M-F (because spring break). Seems plausible.

#AdultESOL class went well today. Need to do a bit of prep for class tomorrow, then it is time to spend hours studying for #Spanish test on Monday.

I'm a bit worried about the test Monday, because wow the amount of vocabulary from the last month or so is incredible.

Love the green on black!

Also, appreciate the article. I'm sort of the same. I love taking something existing and working to fit what I need. But, start with a blank page? Doable, but much less motivated.

I just used #ChatGPT to get started on 3 short readings for my #ESOL class and 1 longer reading to help me practice #español.

Then, I spent an hour rewriting the English stuff into something most appropriate for my students.

Great start to new term of #AdultESOL at #CSCC.

One thing that bothers me, though, is that the official calendar has Easter off, but classes on Eid.

Current schedule has a quiz the class after Eid, meaning many of the students will miss that day of content and review, and then have to sit a quiz without any chance to get caught up.

Cough, cough, I think I feel a cold coming on around April 23rd.

Actually, talking w/ students about taking off and using make up day in May.

Redid my #AdultESOL students' writing journal to finally fix some issues and add back in reading responses.

Worth the few hours it took.
