Back to School

I guess we're going back to school tomorrow. There's still 3-plus inches of snow on the ground, but the city roads are clear. I guess the county roads are, too, since we didn't get the ConnectEd message canceling school.

It's tough to teach every other other day. Last week, we were in school Wednesday through Friday, having missed the previous three school days. My normally well-behaved class was absolutely bonkers for those three days of school. Too much time off and not enough time-on-task.

Monday came, and my class was back! Working. Not talking incessantly. Ready for the day. So, of course, we had an early release day. Totally pointless and a waste of instructional time.

And then we had two more snow days.

Tomorrow I'll be right back where I was a week ago, trying to corral an absolutely bonkers class.

Seriously, will this be taken into account when my test scores bomb because I wasn't able to teach how to add fractions with unlike denominators? I've been introducing fractions for the past 2 weeks and I've yet to get to lesson three!

I love snow days. I hate snow days.

More snow is predicted for next week.
