<strong>Main Report or Narrative: </strong>This week has been pretty much about easing back into work.

Tuesday I familiarized myself with Study Island, the new web-based testing program for Shoesmith. I did some general data entry and setup. Sara stopped by and we talked about the status of all the projects that have already restarted and need to be picked up again as well as some new ones. I then stopped by Mrs. Cranley's room to check with her. She asked me to install some reading and math games on her class computer so her students could use the computers but after some dusty digging, I realized all the educational cds at Shoesmith are gone and all that's left are empty cases. I did show Mrs. Cranley how to install software on her computer with the one remaining Clifford game, but before I could get a list from her of acquisitions of cds she wanted the school to get, I had to leave. I'll get back to that when she's free again.

Thursday I did more work on Study Island. Mrs. Cranley was busy, so I put off showing her the sight-words project I've been working on and the software stuff. I talked with Ms. Henderson and I'll be starting work on her blog soon. I scheduled time to talk with Mrs. Coffee and Coleman but they ended up having a meeting, so that's also put off for now. I played around with Audacity and Podpress for the first time until Mitch, Sara, and Joe stopped by and then we did some AR installations/updates from the new server.
