With a Winter storm featuring 24 hours of snow on the horizon, last night my school made the call for a snow day today. I was not mad about that because I love myself a leisurely morning and with classes cancelled I can freely indulge in such luxury. The rest of the day will be given over to catching up with work —— new lessons for the 8th grade, comments home about quizzes and such, a calendar for the post Spring Break months, planning for a (fingers-crossed) in-person but socially distant closing ceremony for the 8th grade. In short, there is plenty to keep me busy today.
Around 8:30 am I opened up my side of our school digital platform to find no less than 8 messages from students. Several wanted to know if school was cancelled….all acknowledged that they had received the school message which read “…Thursday, Feb. 18 will be a snow day for all students. All instruction and campus activities are cancelled.”
Yikes.
A few more students sought to find out if the digital open note quiz, assigned three weeks ago and slated to close tonight at 8 pm, would have an extension because there was no class today.
Ahem, hard NO.
A few more offered explanations for why they had submitted incomplete quizzes and were now sending additional answers to the quiz questions. Would I please give them full credit?
I cannot even.
At this juncture, I took a pause from school work and stuck my nose into a Miss Read book. Her February in Fair Acre features early daffodils and the smell of Spring. That’s a balm to my tired soul and spirit. When I return to the business of quiz grading and such, it will be with a patient heart. Pandemic school is hard for us all. Winter makes it harder. We are all worried and afraid. But kindness is free and I will find some hope; I always do.
The quiet fall of snow is lovely. We have heat, running water, and electricity in my corner of the nation. Winter can’t last forever and March is on the horizon. Sassafras Spring will surely arrive even sooner. We can do hard things. And we will.
