Long week...

I've just come to the end of what has felt like a very long week. I'm beyond exhausted! Today the kids were really off their rocker because of the sprinkling of snow we finally got. I cannot describe the excitement. Too bad, when we walked outside the sun had melted all of it away. I personally can't wait for another dose of the white stuff, but let's make it for real next time. Another reason why the kids were a little crazed is because I was gone all morning, with a sub covering my class. All the K-1 teachers had to attend a demonstration lesson by a representative of the National Urban Alliance (NUA). It's basically the next thing that's going to turn Bridgeport schools around. Actually, the presentation and debriefing were excellent. I got so much out of it, and was really pumped to do some teaching.....only to come back to a group of super anxious kiddies. Oh well, so it goes, it's Friday. I'm off now, with a not-so-friendly headache that's come to keep me company, and a lovely couch waiting to coax me into a much needed nap.
