February 13... another snow day

I feel like a kid again... I could barely sleep until I knew that we were, in fact, having a snow day. I wasn't keen to give up a day of teaching but I knew if we had school today, we would have struggled through the day with some MOPE MOPEY Middle Schoolers. No, thank you! I am all for a snow day today, because I am looking forward to tomorrow SO MUCH!!!! Have I mentioned that we are having a poetry reading at The Worthen House Cafe.... GET YOUR POEMS READY, Students!!!

Feb 12

Today in history Abraham Lincoln was born. In class, we watched Abraham Lincoln's biography. My 7th and 8th graders had a chance to watch this in class after getting to attend a Valentine's Day themed Art Class at The Whistler House Museum. Their lives are pretty rough I tell you. And they get to do extra credit... and it was gym day... and there was a sub.... and likely a snow day tomorrow. Oh, to be in middle school.

Meanwhile, I encouraged my students to push themselves with their poems. What began as an assignment has turned into a moment for them to open their souls. I look forward to sharing all of their poems, and sharing my own as well as hearing the other teachers and just celebrating the day.

Hope the snow cooperates!!!!

:D Enjoy the snow day, guys!
