All is Quiet on the Classroom Front

Only four days into Spring Break, and I'm already back at school. Don't worry, though, I wanted to be here so I could get things set up for our ocean unit. Yes, I'm resting. No, I'm not "overdoing" it. No, I'm not bored. No, I'm not a work-a-holic. It's just that things are so... peaceful... when I'm the only one on campus, when my classroom is so quiet you could hear a pin drop. I just get so much done. I planned the next two weeks of instruction, put up two new bulletin boards, got everything ready for Monday, switched the seating arrangement, and made materials.

It is truly amazing when I think I could spend my whole week here in my classroom doing my job--without any kids in sight!
