Snow days

This post will be really short as we only had two days of school this week thanks to the weather! Tuesday and Wednesday were lost due to a Blizzard that hit New England and brought close to two feet of snow to my area. Most schools in the State were closed both days. Then to add insult to injury, we had another storm come in on Friday dropping another 12 inches or so to my area. I'm not one to complain about no school calls, but I think we could have gotten in at least a half day of school as the snow did not really pick up until the afternoon. Either way, we only had two days of school.

In those two days, we saw the same 4 classes because of our schedule and how the snow days fell. So I haven't seen my AP class, or my Sacrifice for Freedom class in over a week and I still haven't met my new Psychology class yet. The snow days have allowed me to get caught up on my grading and put most of the first semester stuff to rest. However, it would be nice to see those classes!

I did have Honors U.S. History and we spent some time this week discussing the success and failure of Reconstruction after the Civil War and the fight to put Native Americans on Reservations. Both deal with issues connected to racism and we had some great discussions. I also met my new Ethics class and we started off talking about Ethics and talking about what students would do in hypothetical scenarios. Its a lively group ready to discuss and debate so it should be a lot of fun!

I hope that next week I actually get to see my other classes and maybe we can avoid anymore snow days for a few weeks at least!
