Back to School Monday!
"Think wrongly, if you please, but in all cases think for yourself." - Doris Lessing
Yep, it's back in the classroom. Not a bad day, actually. I discovered the secret: extra credit! For my Precalculus and regular Calculus class, I made today a Bonus day. I gave them a packet of problems to solve for extra credit points, and they worked like demons for the entire period. Not one complaint about having to engage their brains after a week off! It's a bit of a rush, feeding off their energy on days like today...
Next few weeks are 4-day weeks thanks to Good Friday and Prom (why do I always want to say "the Prom", while everyone else says just "Prom"?). I still have trouble believing we give these juniors and seniors the day off for a dance... and seniors get the following Monday off as well! Like it takes 3 days to recover - what are they doing that I didn't do?
I'd love to hear some updates on Dark Hollow... and B&B's plans for next weekend. Don't worry, Mom - there should be plenty of pix of any Easter Egg hunt (even if it ends up inside...)
Happy Monday!
