Ah, spring time, and the livin' is easy, expecially (see Kersina's wordsnob post) when it's Spring Break. Depending on how you count 'em up, it's either 10 days or 6 days of doing something else. However the something else usually ends up being spent in the classroom getting ready for when Spring Break is over. Today the something else was driving up to Chico with a fellow teacher to spend $$ on books for the classroom. There is a great place called Teachers Exchange that has paperback books we can buy for our students, and we get 30% off, so I bought over $500 worth of books for $400. Such a deal! We have hit that time of year where most teachers feel that we have hit the top of a giant roller coaster and are now picking up speed and careening around corners so fast that we can barely hold on. Wasn't it only yesterday we were getting ready for Thanksgiving? Seems like it.
In a few months I'll be leaving for Washington DC with a group of students. We'll be visiting various sites on the east coast and enjoying the sights and sounds of the nation's capitol. Should be great! Just need to keep an eye on the kids.
