40 minutes into a full week off! Cup of tea at my side, Kindle all fired up, holiday music playing in the background and just chilling! Oh, and it appears the world has not ended yet!

I'm giving a quiz today.

I am so very grateful for the holiday break. Time to rejuvenate and spend with family. I work with fabulous children and I know I am lucky in that respect.

In other threads I talk about working in crazyville. The school is headed by 2 very difficult to work with administrators (principal and vice principal). They often provide me with SMH moments. This week was no exception...

They announced big staffing changes with the paraprofessionals coming up when we come back but we don't know what they are yet and won't until we get back. Nothing like time to plan for them. What lead to the staffing changes is "student needs". Like they hired someone to work 1:1 with our most impaired student who has no sped experience and no desire to work with sped children (they told the person they hired she'd be doing something else). Now mind you someone in the building with experience wanted the position but they decided to not do that.

The list goes on and on. I've go to let it go!
So the winter break is well timed.

Well, not one to complain about a couple of extra days off from work .... I just found out that the school I work for will be closed Monday AND Tuesday! WOOT!!!!

I hope the year has started off great for all you educators....I have resolved that this year 'is what it is'.....every time I turn around, something crazy is happening. Entering Festival season - and I have no idea what to expect....constant schedule changes, children flaking out, etc. On a more positive note - I get to do some serious networking this week and will get recognized for 25 years at our state convention this week. Will reconnect with colleagues and see what happens...
ALSO MAKES FOR A TWO DAY WEEK!!!!!!

We had a little bit of snow, not enough to make it unsafe to drive, but it's cold out, so I'll have to warm up my car soon.

I spent a lot of time grading and entering grades this weekend, and I have a lot of work to hand back. I think one or two kids cheated on a quiz, but I have no way to know, so I'll have to change their seats. I'm not looking forward to the histrionics. My seniors have a huge assignment due this week, and I predict that one or two won't be finished. I am not looking forward to their histrionics either.
