Here we are, eight days deep into the current academic term, and Mrs. Hillbilly Mom is in her element. Texts have been handed out, the old red gradebook has been filled with names for easier recordkeeping reference than signing on to an electronic gewgaw that may or may not be available at all times, and pupils have been indoctrinated on Mrs. HM's methods.
After this week, and one more...we will be entering Labor Day weekend. You know what that means! Monday off. Monday! The day Mrs. HM has duty this year! AND at the end of the four-day Labor Day week, it is time for progress reports. That's right! The first quarter will be half over! One-eighth of the school year on the books!
Time is flying faster than Sister Bertrille!
It's not too unpleasant to have a routine again. And to get lunch before 2:00 in the afternoon. Though I must say even I think 10:53 is a bit early for the noon meal. Unless, of course, we must serve the pupils lunch in order to count the day as complete in the event of an early out for snow! Then a lunch served at 9:00 a.m. is perfectly acceptable. We've done it before! Ahh...the promise of snow days yet to come. Mrs. HM is virtually giddy with anticipation.
The school year is almost over, you know.
I, too, am drooling over the possibility of some snow days.
ReplyDeleteAren't there sometimes freaky snowstorms in September? October?
Sioux,
ReplyDeleteI think we had one in October one time! It shot our Snow Day Pool all to not-heaven!
