Well, it's March 30th. I have finished another two sets of report cards. THE WORST REPORTING PERIOD EVER!! This stupid online report card program decided that it didn't want to work anymore. Everyone in the whole board had issues of some type or another. Some of my students marks did not print out on their cards. When I go back online to check it out, they were all there. SOOO FRUSTRATING. Some poor teachers had students comments end up on other kids report cards. I am so glad that I got through them and don't have to look back again! I survived another two sets of parent teacher as well. Last week after an hour or more of puttering around because I have no appointments I had one mom actually say to me, " We're allowed to talk to you!?" Awesome eh? I spent last night at my other school with no visits from any parents, and then again today same story. So come 10:45 am the principal told me to scram. Now I am officially on SPRING BREAK!!! It took forever to get here and man I hope it doesn't pass by quick. I have no real plans. Clint was supposed to get home sometime next week but I'm not sure how that will fair out with his work and all. We shall just have to wait and see.
So what other things have happened that I have not mentioned...
Oh, well we had a birthday party for Troy early in March. It was good times and messiness all around. Had some people over for St. Patrick's Day as well. Janelle and Sarah were both on crutches from separate sports injuries. Janelle to Volleyball and Sarah to Skiing. Both are well on the road to recovery and doing well.
Wednesday past we went to see Sarah's wedding gown. It is BEAUTIFUL!! The dress is everything she ever imagined it would be and she looks awesome. The wedding is only about 4 months away now. Exciting times!
Speaking of weddings... Tara & Buck's is only 3 months away! The bridesmaid gowns have been ordered but I'm not sure when they expect them to arrive. It looks like I will arrive in NS a couple days before the big day to see my gown for the first time. In the mean time I'll be hoping and praying that it fits well LOL fingers crossed for me.
The only other news to report is that my "temp" position teaching music (Thursdays and Fridays) will be ending right after spring break... however; I have a contract that says I'm employed until the end of the year so it just might look like I'll be working day to day subbing maintaining my "salary" pay. This could get interesting. I guess I have some mixed feelings about it. It was only this morning that I was told it was a "mistake" that I had received a full time contract and that the lady would be returning so soon. I kinda feel sorry for the kids. None of them see this coming at all and I'm sure some will not be too happy about it either. I'll only see them for two more classes after the break and then I'm gone :( I'ts kind of silly to me that the board made a mistake and they will interrupt classes with like 2 months left. A similar situation happened with a staff memeber at my other school and they made the decision to leave the current teacher in the position and have the returning maternity leave teacher do additional "resource" work. Now that makes sense. ANYHOO~!
I am not sure what I want to do with my break at all now. I hope something exciting happens. I'm thinking now that I might run up to my school and watch the kids & parents "Shave their lids for kids". A fundraiser in support of children's cancer. Other than that, I'm pretty dull.
As promised before, I WILL try to keep up on this more often.
Cheers!
