This week is the longest short school week. I did conferences until eight pm Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Today we saw students until 12:00 and then after a lunch break we had conferences again until four. I'm home now and I keep thinking today is Friday. Well it sort of is. We don't have school again until April 9.
I may be rested up again by then.
At sometime during the 43 conferences I started to feel like I didn't know who I was talking to. I tried to keep good notes of things I promised to people. Notes of who mentioned family situations I should remember. But right now, all I can remember are the oddly funny things parents say to me. I wonder if I would have found them funny a week ago. Maybe after a good night of sleep I'll slice them.
Now all I have to do is remember to remove the 5:30 weekday alarm setting.
I suffered through the same last week---an incredibly long and difficult week before spring break. But as a high school teacher am envious of the ability that you have to have the conferences with so many. So important!
