Easter Approacheth



Once again, I find myself in the position of falling behind on my posts.  This has been done for two reasons:


  • I've been giving you lots to do... this makes everything a bit more hectic
  • I'm an old man and I'm tired...
That being said, we're going to hit the ol' Reset Button and try again to establish a bit more consistency on my part.

There.  Much better.

There's little doubt on my mind that we are all eager for the Easter break.  As busy as we might get from time to time, there is little denying that we have more than our fair share of time off.  This works out well given the immense quantities of holiday-themed goodies that must be consumed.  And general catching up... but mostly goodies.  On an entirely unrelated note, I am fond of the iconic Creme Eggs.  Bribery, in this case, would hypothetically be accepted.

My goals for this blog are going to evolve somewhat.  Instead of providing general updates to regular happenings from the classroom (although that will still happen), I want to provide additional information of note that might spark some thought on your part, or much-valued debate and conversation in those moments when worksheets and textbooks just won't cut it.  The more engaged you are, the better things will be for all.

In addition, I should be caught up on marking before everyone leaves for Easter.  Yay!  Although, I think it's safe to say that I'll be repeating that phrase often through my career.  Unless we do away with homework... now there's an idea.  ;)

Everybody Loves Marking!

Every now and then just when I think I've gotten on top of my schedule and commitments, life throws me a curveball.  I appreciate your patience as I try to get caught up on some important marking.  The plan is to have everything done and put on PowerSchool by Monday.

Thanks everyone.

Now.  Here's a topical image to prepare you for the inevitable North Korean blustering.



Consider yourself warned.

Winter Returns

I suppose if we've learned anything after being in Canada for most of our lives it's that we can't always count on the seasons behaving the way they're meant to.  True, we are still in winter, but the past week has been absolutely glorious.  Winter, it seems, needed to remind us that it was still here and deserved our attention.  Kind of like that kid in the back row frantically waving his/her hand shouting, "Look at me!  Look what I can do!"
