The Weekly Hoot
February 20 -February 26, 2017
Greetings All -
Happy Friday! I think we all need it! Thanks for holding down the fort while I was sick the past two days. This crud going around just doesn't seem to be letting up, does it?? As I changed the background from Valentine's Day to Springtime, I got a little excited. I don't know about you, but I feel like springtime has been teasing us the last few weeks. Of course, my grandma always said "thunder in February means frost in April," and if Valentine's Day was any indication, we should be getting a frost then! It's crazy when you are waiting on something like springtime, it seems to go soooo slowly. I guess that is how it is for us and Spring Break right now, huh?
I wrote the paragraph below the last couple of years at this time, but it always seems appropriate to remind ourselves of the following about this time every year:
In the next three weeks before Spring Break we have 14 days to help make students successful. We have 14 mornings to bring in a student that needs a little extra help and tutor them one-on-one. We have 11 afternoons to offer after-school tutoring to groups of students who are having a hard time with certain objectives. We have 14 days for positive interactions with students and and co-workers to keep building those relationships. In essence, we have 3 weeks to send these students off to Spring Break with more knowledge than they do today. Embrace these next three weeks as an opportunity for advancement of students rather than a countdown to Spring Break. After that, we will then go out and enjoy the much needed and much deserved time off! :)
I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend. Mine is going to be spent enjoying some time outside if it doesn't rain and celebrating Donovan's birthday! I hope all of you have a great one lined up as well.
Love to all,
Marcy
