No snow day today. I think my trip to work was faster today than the usual. Anyhow, my lovely grade 9s all made it to school safe and sound but my period 4 class of grade 10s was pretty empty. Ironically, the fewer of them there are, the worse they are. They figure that since there are only 9 of them in class, it's time to be loud and demanding and refuse to do any work. And of course, my favourites, who get seats of honour right by my desk, are the ones that show up.
Anyway, here's the weekend rundown:
1) Looks like I'm going to see "Memoirs of a Geisha" with some friends. Loved the book when I read it years ago.
2) Tomorrow, my friend from home may visit me if the weather's cooperative. Either way, I gotta get some shopping in and do some laundry.
3) Have a wine and cheese party on Saturday night in honour of my friend finally finishing her undergrad courses.
4) Stars is Sunday afternoon!!!!!
5) I have a gigantic pile of marking to deal with on Sunday night.
Hope you all have fabulous weekends!

I hope that you have a fabulous weekend as well. Our staff party is this weekend.
Gaunch = skivvies = ginch = gitch = underoos.
A Friday afternoon when they had their hopes up of being off for the day...I could see where they'd be unruly...I was always one of the ones that just didn't show up.
As for that marking...is there anything unethical about giving them all Level 4's with a 'Happy Holidays' next to it? Pile won't seem so huge then.
Oh Stars.... when you see them, tell them I said to come to Winnipeg.
Christy, go ahead,go for it and steal my blog idea, I'll look forward to reading your 'correspondence'! Yeah, the Santa thing is definitely a hot-button issue with my class. Maybe this would be a good opportunity to teach them about the rules of debate. LOL! There's definitely many times with 7 year-olds that as a teacher you have to think to yourself - don't laugh, don't laugh......
How was the movie??? Hope you got your marking done!
