Today was the first day back at school, although, Rebekah didn't go. She had a fever all night, and, instead, stayed home. She wasn't feeling well yesterday either, so the girls had a pajama day, and we read books, watched a few cartoons, and built a volcano (one of Rebekah's Christmas presents from Santa). She was in bed by 6:30 tonight, so hopefully she'll be feeling better tomorrow.
Glynn actually started school on Monday. He will be attending SIAST for the next 7 weeks. Afterwards, he will be a third year apprentice. Saskatchewan has a shortage of carpenters, so the government has a number of incentives for tradespeople going through the program. Every night he sits at the kitchen table and does his homework. Last year he learned about concrete and basements, which he's pretty familiar with, since that's mostly what he works with. However, this year is all about framing. He's done a little bit of framing, but not enough to be really familiar with it. Consequently, he's learning a lot of new stuff.
Today, I started teaching again. We had a paid prep day on Monday, which was really nice. But I have to admit, it was really hard to get motivated again! Part of it could be that I'm trying to fight off a cold, and so, I don't feel well. Today was the first day students were back. We have three more weeks in the semester, and then I'll have a different schedule. Next semester I'll have Monday, Wednesday, Friday afternoons off. I actually finish at 11:00. Once spring comes, that will be incredibly nice!
