Back in Action!

We returned to school yesterday after a week of spring break. Although it was rainy and some students--and teachers!--were still a bit groggy because of the time change a week earlier, we had a very good first day back. We now have a stretch of ten consecutive five-day weeks, which is wonderful from an instructional standpoint. I cannot remember a longer stretch of five-day weeks in the past few years. The continuity is very beneficial. After the ten weeks, we have Memorial Day weekend and then our final week of classes and ceremonies. It is amazing to think that just a few weeks ago, there was (lots of) snow on the ground, and now it is beautiful and sunny!
