One more week until we have a much needed break. But what a week it is. The 3rd quarter ends this Wednesday so grades need to be finalized by Friday. Not a problem, normally, just trying to get some projects graded quick so that they can go the quarter grades. Making it a bit harder, we adopted a new homework policy and kids basically can turn stuff in up to 3 days late for full credit. Don’t like the way that is working and hope that we get away from that policy soon! It has been a long time since Christmas break. Normally we get at least 2-3 snow days during this time period, but this year there hasn’t been anything (we are predicted to get a snow storm during spring break week). You can tell the kids need a break and the teachers also. Most of us have fought a virus of some point, so the teachers are dragging even more than normal.
But yes, we can last 5 more days. Then when we come back there is only about 8 1/2 weeks left. Yes, we can make it.

13 1/5 days before break for us. Not that I’m counting. Grin. That homework policy sounds brutal.

I am curious about that 1/5 day? I try not to count down until it is so close, I can’t help it. Like counting down until the end of the year.

Yes, you can make it! Wishing you a great productive week as you finalize grades. Enjoy your Spring Break! We had a week break in February, but I am already tired. We have just finished Macbeth, and students have worked diligently on their essays.
Enjoy your break!

I am looking forward to Spring Break too. I am working really hard to catch up on all my grading and planning so that the break will really be a break from school. My home desperately needs a little TLC, and I have a book to finish reading for book club, and I have some writing projects. I think I may need a longer break!
