What will 3 days off school do...

We are on day 3 of snow days. We got hit with a major (major for our neck of the woods) snow and ice storm. We have close to an inch of ice covering EVERYTHING and we probably got close to 10 inches of snow. OK- maybe more like 8, but it seems like 10.

Will came home from school on Monday telling me that Mrs. Ketchum explained to him about coming in at recess to fix mistakes on his assignments. He seems ok with it. And we spoke to him all weekend about coming home after school and fixing any assessments or tests that come home, FIRST, before anything.

Now, here we are 3 days later, still no school. Nothing like follow-through to really drive a point home. Ya know?

With any luck he will get to go tomorrow. From the teacher's perspective I imagine they are hoping for one last snow day. What on earth do you do on a Friday when the kids haven't been there since Monday? You can't do the spelling test, you can't do any other assessment you had been planning on. I guess you try to make up the in class work they missed throughout the week. Seems like it would be easier just to start over on Monday.

NOT that I am hoping for another snow day. Just trying to see things through the teacher's eyes!
