I have to begin by saying that right now I'm not feeling as stressed as I had been the past few weeks. I've remained on my weekly schedule and feel that I'm where I should be. That doesn't mean I'm going to make it; it just means I've caught up on my list of things to do.

My goal for the week is to start my student profile for entry number two. Last month, I decided which students I would feature in entries one, two and three. After really looking at the questions I must answer for each entry, I decided to switch two of my students. That will set me back a few weeks but I feel that I've made the right decision.

So, I've gathered my materials together and begun to organize them into different sections. I've gone through the questions I must answer and created piles of the student background information that I need to answer those five questions. This is how I stay focused and organized!
