Wow…59 days of the school year is done. Today is a conference day and the week prior to the Thanksgiving break. There are 15 papers to grade for one of the University classes that I’m teaching. Saturday we go to Ankeny for our Clara’s 2nd birthday party. Fred will be gone all day next Sunday butchering turkeys with his friend, Steve. I plan to clean and bake. I have an IEP next week on Tuesday afternoon. Then, time home with family for Thanksgiving.
The trimester midwinter is always broken up with Thanksgiving break, winter break, and this year, I plan to attend the CEC (Council for Exceptional Children) conference for a week in January. Yes, I have a lot of work within the second trimester, but it will feel much quicker.
I hope to cherish the final third of the school year that begins March 2nd, 2022. It starts my favorite season with it’s warm up to summer. The moments of children, progress, and laughter will be highlighted in my mind. Loved this career, but I do look forward to the next adventures of life!
