Long Week

I know it's been a short week, but man, it's felt long. My brain needs a break. I don't know how many times today my kids looked at me like, "Huh?" Whatever I had said made no sense! They were all a little stir crazy too... But our afternoon was productive! Morning, not so much.

Thankfully, MEA break starts tomorrow. Of course I don't get the whole rest of the week off; we teachers are 'going to school' at the Lutheran Educators Conference tomorrow. We get Friday off though! I heard it's going to be nice, so I'm bringing a bunch of my painting projects home to the farm so I can paint outside while the weather is nice. 

We had a school safety planning meeting with us teachers after school today. It's just to come up with basic procedures in case of fire/tornado/intruder/bomb threat/etc. We mostly copied Nicollet's plan (since it's so good) and changed the wording a bit. We'll delve deeper at our next staff meeting. At least we have the ball rolling! 

Speaking of safety... the IT guys finally installed the fob entry system at the main door of school. Each teacher got a fob that will let us in any time. Starting this weekend, the doors will be locked from 7:45am-5pm every weekday. I assume it will be locked the whole weekend. Hopefully this will put some of the church naysayers at ease (or quiet them down a little).
