No School for You!

As we near the end of this school year, we find life hectic as well as stressful. Trying to fit everything in while keeping the attention of the students becomes more difficult with each warm day. So I thought it was a joke last night when I received a call from a fellow teacher saying that school is cancelled for Thursday due to a problem at one of the schools that could not be fixed in time. Well, alright! I can use a day off without snow on the ground to hinder desired travel. But wait, will we have to make it up? Yes??!! Words cannot express how difficult it will be to keep the attention and behavior of the students in check with one more day added to the end. I will need to be more creative with plans to keep the children engaged without becoming enraged. Wonder what state standard that falls under?
