I leave for an intense weekend in Dallas for the program I am a student in and will hit the ground running when I return home, as Creative Activities begins, this time on a Monday. Emergent Litracy (lecture and practium courses) begin in Febuary and Active Learning and Play in April.
This is the time of year my husband and I do not get to spend a lot of time together, as he teaches, as well. We try to make the most of our time off - usually by catching up on shows, renting a movie and being in the same room together as we grade papers. (At least he is not teaching an online class this semester, that was time consuming, to say the least...)
