So, it is Day 12 for snow days!I have never known the weather to be this bad. We have had 3 snow days every week for the past 3 weeks, no full weeks since January and in the last 21 days, I have only been in school 6. I had a dream about teaching part-time a while ago and it didn't make sense then, but now I understand. I almost feel like I should pick up a part-time job for all my free time
Well, I probably should be journaling more, but I am still so bad at that. I feel like I am in the middle of a science experiment to test whether a person can have too much of a good thing and the answer is a resounding "YES!!" I'm ready to start school again, I take back every time I ever said I was tired. Being tired is so much better than being bored. At least I felt accomplished for the day. I can't believe that I am saying this, well actually writing this, but I hope we make up the days. We've almost lost 3 weeks of instruction time and out of 5 weeks, that is pretty bad.
So, what have I been doing during my snow days....well... I have been working a little on the school work, well working on the next day and then revising and then revising again for each snow day. I am planning on dressing up like Peter the Great and doing a speech for the students, so we will see if that actually happens. I did make biscottis with Anna, the art teacher, which was pretty fun and at least spiced up my day (quite literally as well)
I really like the college student who is currently staying with us. She is amazing and very personable. Definitely one of those people who will go far.
I went to my mom's school today to read to the students and I was shocked by how bad their attitudes were. I am used to my little angels and these kids were actually scary. You have to walk on eggs around them because they have a tendency to throw tables. It is their agenda, not the teacher's that matters. I was actually shaking when I approached one student who was just laying out on the ground, not doing anything and the teacher told me to ask him if he wanted to come read with me. If he said no, I wasn't supposed to push the issue. Apparently him laying on the floor doing nothing,was him having good day. On my way back I heard shouting from every single classroom that I passed of one student disregarding rules and the teacher having to resort to shouting to get their attention. Honestly, those 45 minutes in the school made me question my own job choice and I absolutely love my job. It is sad that some parents don't understand how to parent their children.
Anyways, I guess that is all I have for now. Stay tuned for next time and for future adventures
