There is a new excitement in the air! My bracket is complete! The march to madness has begun. Well, at least March Madness has begun in my living room! But I must say that as I have visited schools over the past few weeks, I have seen a different kind of March madness. It is the March madness that says, "When is Spring Break?" It is the madness that says, "What do you mean there is no more copy paper?" It is the excitement of hoping that maybe it will snow in March because you REALLY need a break!
We all know that March takes on a different meaning for teachers. It often means the very long stretch from snow days in January to spring break in April. And morale doesn't look like it will make it to the sweet sixteen this year. The rubber band is stretch a little thin and patience is scare! As we celebrate Cinderella stories on the court and follow our favorite teams, remember our colleagues in classrooms across our state who have begun to define March Madness as the 3rd Quarter Slump. To my friends battling the "ugh" of this time of year, hang in there. The sun is shining! There might possibly be daylight when you finally leave school and spring break is just around the corner. Take a deep breath, eat some ice-cream and spend some fun time with your family and friends. I know what a challenge this time of year can be in the classroom! Hang in there and remember to laugh a little every day! Spring Break will get here...eventually!
