What's on your mind

Just when I accepted the fact that there would not be any snow days this year I read this quote from one of the channel 5 weathermen "….let’s get onto the good stuff because we are tracking a potential snow event here Wednesday to Thursday. Models have been trending colder today and are coming in line with my earlier thinking of a more southern colder solution." Wondering if I should get excited or if I will be dissappointed when this doesn't happen.

I know I am the one who gets all excited everytime I hear there is a chance of snow, but I have accepted that I will not be getting a snow day this year and I am okay with that. I'm sure my seniors are not okay with that (sorry). After spending time at the beach in Yarmouth on Saturday I am now ready for the warm weather. having said that mother nature may decide to be cruel and now give me the cold snowy weather.

I really wish that weekends could be three days instead of two. I just cant seem to fit everything I need to do into only 2 days. I have been on the go since Saturday morning at 8am and I am just now sitting down to relax. I have a few more errands to do but I want to watch NHL all star game and the celtics game. Since tomorrow is Monday, back to school, I guess all my errands don't get done this weekend.

Last Thursday night 30 students came to school for an additional 2 hours at night to work on AP Stats and AP Calculus. I was so happy to see that many students give up their time at night. We ordered pizza so the night wasn't all work. I had fun and I am hoping they did too. I am feeling really good about the chances of my students getting a 5 on the AP exam. They have been working so hard they most certainly deserve the good grade. I want to thank them for their continued effort.

What a great weekend I had and I have my Norton kids to thank. Saturday I spent the day at the Reggie Lewis Center for a winter track meet. This was the first track meet I have gone to and I had a great time. There was so much to watch. Makes me wish I had gone to more track meets this year. Norton took third place overall. I want to congratulate everyone that participated. Then Sunday afternoon, my daughter and I went to see "The Wizard of Oz" put on by the NHS drama club. We both thoroughly enjoyed the show. There are some very talented students at Norton High School. Shortly after the play I headed to the Foxboro Y to help out with the Amazing Race. I hope all the students participating had as much fun as I did. Congratulations to Tyler D and Joe D for taking home first place. Thank goodness this is a 3-day weekend. I have all day today to relax and do a little school work.

Well the big holiday has now passed and we have to wait 365 days until it comes again. With Christmas gone, my next favorite topic to blog about is the winter weather. Unfortunately I just checked the 10 day weather forecast and there is no sign of snow. I hope mother nature is just a little slow getting started and that she doesn't skip winter all together in this area. I am really looking forward to some white stuff. Just not as severe as the October storm we had that ruined my beautiful yard.
