Beth-our school district teased us with the whole week off at Thanksgiving for 2 years. Then they took it back this year so we are in school Monday and until 1:30 on Tuesday. It really seems senseless since we are in a military community and some of our families would like a week off to visit home. Hopefully they will see the "error of their ways" and put it back on the calendar
for next year! Enjoy your time off. I know it will be a WELL DESERVED rest! Happy Thanksgiving to all....

We made it to the Thanksgiving week! We had no bad weather days (due to hurricanes or tropical storms) so we have the whole week off! I feel bad for my fellow teachers who have to corral the energy of excited kids Mon.-Wed.

Have fun baking and loving your families this week!

I seem to have someone out nearly everyday. I teach 3 sections of reading/social studies and with all the little children touching everything it is bound to happen...just hope I don't get anything...I hate to have subs...Hope you and everyone else stays well...

Anyone having students out of school due to "flu-like symptoms"? It's not been too bad, but the makers of hand sanitizer are making a fortune!

I hear ya, Beth! It seems like every year there is more paperwork and less teaching time.

Report cards anyone? Parent/teacher conferences? Man, school is too busy! If I have to disaggregate any more data, I'm going to pop!

Hello fellow teachers... have any of you partipated in the United Through Reading (www.unitedthroughreading.org) Military Program? If so, did you have a book drive to help get the program started on your son's/daughter's ship? I'd love to hear about your experience.

Beth -- It's great to hear from you. It sounds as though you are quite busy, but you certainly have exciting family events coming up. My girl will be home in mid-December from Texas A&M Galveston, so I'll be getting ready to have that special time with her. My husband and I miss her so much, but the reunions are always sweet!
Next week, I have a fall break , and I don't have to attend the teacher's convention this year. I'll have next Thursday and Friday to take care of some chores at home, get my hair done, and have some time to breathe. On Saturday the 10th, my husband and I are traveling about two hours north of Indianapolis to attend a N4M get together, and we decided to spend the weekend and visit a friend on Sunday. I'm looking forward to doing something different than the normal routine.

Everyone take care and stay healthy!

MaggieDaniel - I'm just reading your post weeks after it went up. You are very insightful. I have been too busy at school to slow down for long. My husband's at a bible study tonight and the house is quiet...

I am mentally and emotionally gearing up for a late November visit from my overseas sailor. Can't wait.

I am also taking a couple of personal days to attend the Navy/Marine Corps birthday ball at VT. That will be a blast. Our last one, too, since the sweethearts (daughter and her fiance) are graduating this year and getting married next May!

School is good. Our attendance is up so we didn't have to cut any teachers. We survived a lockdown due to a WWII bomb across the street. I'm waiting to hear if a grant I wrote got funded for reading materials....

Hope all is well w/ my teacher friends!
