Ugh. This student's mother let the homebound lapse for 5 weeks and she is classified so she gets 2 hours per week. We had 10 hours to make up as well as the 2 hours each week going forward. It has been a challenge to chip away at it.
It is forensic science which everyone knows is my favorite subject.
I'm having a hard time coming up with things to do during all of these hours. The "good" news is that she works slowly so a substantial assignment can take up the entire 2 hour session. She started something yesterday and is still at it today after an hour.
She wants to do 2 hours tomorrow morning which I am totally fine with. . . but now I'm pressed to come up with something for then. It is difficult to find things online. I mean there are plenty of assignments, projects, etc. online but it is all on Teachers Pay Teachers. I am NOT going to pay for resources. I'm just not and certainly not for something that I don't typically teach.
We'll do a Forensic Files episode. That will take about 45 minutes or maybe an hour if I'm lucky. But I need something else. . . and then something for Monday's 2 hours.
I know I shouldn't complain because it is easy money and I'm really not complaining. It is just stressful to keep having to find stuff for her to do.
