So in the last 2 weeks of school we have only actually been to school for 3 days. It's been pretty crazy, especially considering that we've had at least two snow days every week (except for one week) since we got back from Christmas break! I'm definitely feeling bad for the classroom teachers in the school since all the state testing stuff is quickly approaching and we've definitely been out of school far more than we have been in school over the last month and a half! I'm not even going to think about including the month of Dec in that equation with Christmas break and everything, it is too depressing!
We are excited around here for a big thaw this upcoming week! Weather looks to be great and I am excited for a full week of school, though I have a feeling all the kiddo's and staff will be exhausted by the end of the week (a whole week of school, what's that?).
I haven't had it so bad during this time off though. I am close enough with the little kiddo I work with, and his family, that I was able to spend some time over at their place doing some lessons with him and keeping him up on some of his work (I wasn't letting him get away with that many snow days!). I've also been able to get out a little with some friends close by, a couple of lunches out and a coffee or two!
Some of us even got together a few nights ago to celebrate what we were calling "Spring Break 2011, Baby" mainly because these snow days we are having aren't free, they need to be made up... we've already added a couple days to the end of school, we've lost all holidays between now and then, and this last round of snow days is supposed to cut into our spring break significantly.
Hence my disdain over snow days! It's going to be a long couple of months!
