The week is stretching out before me like so many other spring breaks of the past.
I am sure if you are not in education, you are probably jealous that I have a week off. But what most people don't know is that I have a lot of things to accomplish this week. Most of them are work or school related. So even though I'm not teaching all week, I will be spending the time 'off' preparing for the marathon that is March 25-May25. Almost every year during spring break, I head up to school to hang artwork or run the kiln. I really can get a lot done when I don't have students in the room. I try to maximize my time as much as possible so that I am not there longer than I have to be. This year, I need to prep materials for art lessons in April. I need to prep for a sub and get stuff ready for a conference I am attending in early April. I need to get stuff ready for the end of the year art show and the Conference show at Carthage. I need to run the kiln so that clay sculptures will be finished up in a reasonable time. I also need to clean and put away stuff from our winter projects. I love filling the school with beautiful artwork in April as it is that last push before we go to bare walls in May in preparation for the end of the year and taking everything home. This spring break, I also need to work on my paintings, getting as much done as I can because I know April will be busy and I need to wrap them up by the first week of May. I also have Nelliepalooza to wrap up the week, which means I have to create seating charts, name tags, get door prizes and figure out what I want to work on while I am there. So yes, I have the week 'off' but I'm going to be getting lots of work done and hopefully a little relaxing too.
