Could this year BE any crazier? Hurricane Ike, Houston flooding, and now swine flu! WOW!
I am amazed at the resiliency of the students of Houston schools! They have kept up without batting an eye! Out of school for 2 weeks? No problem! Streets flood and school closes for a day? Great! And yet my fifth grade students, as well as the other grade levels at my school, continue to perform with great success on TAKS and in the classroom. Other than some pent up energy from either lack of sleep or being cooped up without recess, my week went as expected.
With the presence of this virus lurking in schools not far from me, I cannot wait for the end of the school year! I just hope most of us can escape with out contracting it, and the school officials keep doing the right thing. I don't envy the decisions our leaders will have to make in the coming weeks.
Remember: wash your hands, cover your mouth, and keep your han-i-tizer (my friend's little one combined hand sanitizer) close by!
it has been a very unique year in many ways for sure!
