The day went pretty well, with a load of family at my (pregnant) sister-in-law's house up the street. She usually hosts, but this year we heated the ham at our place and everybody brought something to ease her burden. Turns out she went to the doctor yesterday (Catholic schools had the day off) and has an ear infection on top of everything. Fun. But on Sunday we all relaxed and watched a movie (RED).
Monday at school was less than I had expected. I have another strong week prepared, with squares, square roots and the Pythagorean Theorem - all 7th grade concepts (plus, unknown to the kids, homework from the 7th grade book). Most kids said it was easy, even though I held back calculators, which due to the square and square root buttons make this a trivial bit of homework. Lots of kids out, one rumored to have moved (go figure with 5 weeks of school left), and a mid-day tornado alert. Duck and cover. Maybe some of them won't come back today, as the weather is supposed to be just as bad.
