I think that sounds like a fabulous idea, kat. There must be lots of self-guided work those children could do!
You always think harder is better. Maybe next time I patrol, I should carry bricks and use a stake made out of butter.

JenP, I am making them draft a research paper (2000 words) by hand in pen with no access to tech They've spent 3 weeks taking notes and outlining and this week is writing week. So they don't need me at all.
BUT, and this is a significant but, my eyes are fubar at work. Reading on screens that aren't eink are killlllling me. I have stopped reading to write a little and I can't see across the classroom. So much eye fatigue. Bodies aging are tricky beasts.

UGH hard same. I had my eye appt on Friday and the doc confirmed my prescription hasn't changed. So my glasses work fine but my eyes get so tired by the end of the day that I can't see for shit. I gave myself as much of a phone-free weekend as I could and it definitely helped, but my job is looking at computers all day, so.
