I think it's probably good when the worst day of the week is the first day of the week. Mondays are always the hardest, but then I have the whole week to have better days.
Yesterday was extra.
I had before and after school traffic duty. Since it was an "orange flag" day and on those days the kids gather in the cafeteria before school, that was a relief because my "traffic duty" was supposed to be keeping the peace in the cafeteria. Then I was told that one teacher had to be outside at the crosswalk and the one teacher was yours truly.
It was cold, but I had wisely brought my gloves + mittens which are really a game changer. Layering for the win.
Still, it took up my before and after school time.
Janelle was gone so her student teacher who was subbing understandably needed a little help.
Inside for both recesses.
No prep time (we don't have specialties on Monday).
We revamped our reading groups so I needed to prep and plan for them.
We made a big change in math so I needed to prep and plan for that.
All this added up to leaving school at 5:30. Today will be better (colder, but still) and better is better.
