The Weekly Hoot
February 17 -February 23, 2020
Greetings All -
Happy Friday! I think we all need it! I didn't think when I wrote the Hoot on Sunday that we would still be thinking about Valentine's Day ahead of us next week! LOL! I want to thank all of you so much for pushing through like troopers the past week or so. I know it has been a whirlwind and I appreciate all of you for still doing your job in all of the craziness.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 teased us a little bit lately and now next week it is supposed to be cold again! 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 three day weekend. Mine is going to be spent enjoying Valentine's with my sweetie, working on taxes, and if the weather cooperates, maybe working in the yard just a little bit before the cold weather again!
Happy Valentine's Day and STAY WELL!!!!!
Love to all,
Marcy
