Our school is well into the new school year. In fact, our first quarter is wrapping up this week. Reflecting back on it, I can't help but feel more frustrated than anything else. We began school back on August 18 because of a harvest break we give the students to help with our local harvest in September. That means we're in school for a month then take 2 weeks off. This would be great, and normally I have no problem with it, but this year seems to have been anything but seamless.
The second week we were in school we had a 3 day program visit our school, which interrupted our class schedules for a good part of the week. We then had a test to administer to our students to measure their academic progress, which took another 3 days. Then we had our 2 week break. Once we returned we had 2 weeks with only 4 days because of a workshop one week and a holiday the next. THEN, we had to administer the standardized test, which took an entire week, and is now running into a second week just for make ups.
