Well, after 3 days off school, I'm back to work today and tomorrow, before another weekend. :) The 2 day week is pretty nice, but I think I got spoiled sleeping in the last few days. It was REALLY difficult to get out of bed this morning. I thought some of my kids might not come to school today since so much had been canceled this week, but I guess by today, their parents were ready to get rid of them and went ahead and sent them back to school.
While I, as well as kids, love snow days, the 3 days we had off this week put us about a week behind in our instruction. That means we really have to cram to fit everything in in time for state tests. I know that teachers shouldn't teach to the test, and I certainly don't do that. But there is a lot of material in our curriculum that they need to know to be ready for the test, so we need to be sure to hit those items. Other things that they need to learn that aren't on the test will still be taught, just after the testing window is closed. It's stressful being a teacher! I'm ready for summer!
Hope you all stayed warm and safe through the storm. We're going to Topeka for the weekend, so hopefully the weather is nice.
Happy Birthday, Glenn!! (yesterday) ;)
