The past two weeks have been close to two of the worst weeks of my teaching career. It would be unprofessional to explain why here, but suffice it to say that a combination of mean teachers, attacking parents and horribly behaved students who have given up like it's already June lead to an unhappy Mademoiselle!
So an email with this message was more than welcome at the end of Wednesday:
Due to Sinai Liberation Day on Sunday, April 25 we will not have school.
Doesn't get much clearer.
Today was a free day - not to be wasted! The only way to describe today is that it felt like one of those perfect mid-July days when you have no where to be and not much important to do. It was a balmy 29C, so after waking up without an alarm clock and reading for an hour, I headed to the gym for a run. Returned home to make banana bread, and then headed to Al Hazar Park for a picnic with my friend Bethany.
Now at home, making dinner and enjoying that I didn't think about school, I did not spend the day cleaning, and I did not waste it in front of the TV.
The other benefit of these 3 day weekends is the 4 day week that follows.
Is this REALLY the last long weekend of the school year???
Happy Shannon Liberation Day!From Tim
ReplyDeletethat sucks that you had a rough week. hoping this one goes alot better. are you coming home for summer? the countdown is on for us...two more months. and then, who knows...not going back to listowel next year. hoping something else pops up closer to home and teaching only one grade. take care.
ReplyDeleteoh that comment was from me. something kinda silly has been going on with my account every since i got a gmail email.

Thanks for the comments! Yep, will be in Ontario from July 14 to August 29. Over 6 weeks of driving, babies, running outside without harassment, lots of fun family and friends!
