This weekend was the long Family Day weekend and it could not have come at a better time.. just after report cards were handed in. I am finding teaching to be ongoingly stressful and a lot of work. Don't get me wrong I absolutely love living in Nakina however the amount of work it is to keep up with everything happening at school and all the Ontario curriculum expectations I need to teach is difficult. I have come to realize it will be tough for my first year especially since I am just developing all my units and how I would like to teach them.
To celebrate being done reports, I spent a lot of time relaxing with friends and getting things done. One interesting and only in North thing we did was shoveled off a friends roof. When the snow piles up it is necessary for the snow to be shoveled off so the heat does not escape nor pile up. With two hands on the shovel and 4-5 people alongside me we were done in no time with a turkey dinner as our payment! What a treat!
