We're nearly a week through second quarter already, and it feels like time is just going to speed up as we go. The second quarter always moves the quickest as it is usually the shortest as it has more days off than the other quarters. On top of that, the last week is usually the week for final exams and last-minute attempts to turn in late work. Meanwhile, it seems like we are continually jumping from one holiday or event to the next. Allow me to illustrate.
This week was a full five-day week, but it was also the start of a new quarter--one in which I lost one student and gained three others.
Next week is a three-day week with a Halloween-themed dance on Wednesday evening with parent-teacher conferences and professional development on Thursday and Friday.
The following week is a full week, except that Halloween is on that Tuesday, and there is a DDF tournament in Anchorage on Friday and Saturday.
The week after that is a four day week because the calendar committee decided to give us the Friday before Veterans' Day off--which is weird--and an early release on the Thursday before that.
Week five finally has a full week without any strangeness that I know about.
However, the next week week is another three-day week because of Black Friday--well, and probably Thanksgiving before that.
The week after that is a full week for anyone not going to another DDF tournament in Anchorage on Friday and Saturday.
Week eight has five days, but that Friday is another early release.
Finally, we have finals week and whatever holiday activities are happening on that Friday.
This quarter is going to fly by.
