YAHOO! 

The Friday before Spring Break.  

Most of us, myself included, would be bursting at the seams if we were at school.  Are you ready for our 10 day break?  Did your plans have to change because of COVID-19?  Mine did.  I was originally going on a short fishing trip with my dad, but we had to cancel our trip.  It's ok, because I know that by staying home I am keeping my dad and my family safe.  These times are hard for everyone, so know you are not alone.  

Stay strong! 

Enjoy your break :)

Do you miss school as much as I do?

You're all doing a great job of being safe and staying home.  You should take the time to appreciate that this is a time that you will share stories of with your grandchildren.  Just think, one day you'll be that crazy old person talking about the time the world was closed.

Stay safe, stay home!  
Happy learning!

As we say goodbye to March, I am hopeful to have some more plans as to how to approach teaching and learning in April.  I know that this is unprecedented times, but I know all of my students are doing their best given a very strange set of circumstances.  Keep your head up.  This is all temporary!  I miss you and hope to see you before the school year is finished.
