ten days ago i couldn’t spell coronavirus without checking a source. now it just rolls off the keys. today i challenged my students (via remind) with our #10 coronavirus creativity challenge to keep a journal. here is my challenge…
#coronaviruscreativitychallenge #10: every 5th day is going to be FEELINGS & INTENTIONS day because i think it is so important for you to know how you are feeling and establishing intentions for your day.
one intention that i would LOVE for you to try out today is to START JOURNALING DAILY. really, this is everyone’s first pandemic. in 25 years there will be an american girl doll whose story will be about how she lived through the pandemic. she will come with accessories like a remote control, a roll of toilet paper, and a bottle of hand sanitizer. AND YOUR JOURNAL MIGHT BE USED AS HER STORY LINE!! or maybe it won’t… but you will want to have a record of what you did with these days.
so start TODAY, journal your feelings for each day, what you did the previous day, what you want to do with this day and how you are staying sane each day (or if you are staying sane each day.) send me a message of your feeling and show me a photo of your journal!!! & i can’t wait to see pam d. emic, the american girl survivor doll…
so, i guess i need to take my own challenge. i am feeling guilt ridden. because this is so easy on me. i love staying at home. i know it will get old. but right now, it is pleasant. i am slowly getting some things done. not frantic pace. just plodding. i feel so unfocused. maybe that is the pandemic brain. who know? again, my first pandemic. and i am not sure i am rocking it. maybe because i feel like i am just slacking off a lot. too much. trying to be purposeful. but i keep getting sidetracked. again, pandemic brain.
let’s keep track of wins, shall we… yesterday, sheets washed. towels washed. beds made. walk taken. password changed on computer. kast group watched a musical with thespians. talked with stephanie roth (where rosie is staying in montreat) and felt good about her staying there. made some coronavirus challenges, and talked with damarius brock (who i haven’t talked with in years.) so good things. making a list like that made me feel better.
intentions for today (brain dump of everything on my to do list right now… vacuum the dog hair. clean out my closet. walk. family game night. work on shakespeare bachelor play. make and laminate “top three to do’s” list. put all my challenges on a google doc for teachers.
i will let you know how all that goes.
journal day 1 was not really interesting. i will see if i can ramp up the excitement round these socially distant parts…
