Do you know where I am headed this morning? I'm going to school. To work. By myself. Uninterrupted.
On Saturdays, there is a children's program run in our building. Local families can sign-up their kids for a variety of craft, hobby, and sports lessons. This means, my building is open every Saturday. I'm one of the lucky teachers who doesn't happen to have a class being held in my room. I can sneak into my classroom, lock the door behind me, and get a ton of work done. Plus, I only live five minutes from my school making it a quick trip in. So, that's my plan for this morning. Am I crazy? Maybe!
I've done it a few times before. I'm not alone as there are a handful of other teachers like me that have sneaked (snuck?) in. But, I know most teachers I work with think I'm nuts to give up my Saturday morning to go into work. I look at it this way, giving up my Saturday morning allows me to get everything done I need to. I don't spend the whole day there. Today, I have a lot to do, so I will probably be there from 9:30 to 12:30ish. This allows me to have the rest of my weekend free and clear. I'm not making plans or grading papers Sunday night. Oh well, nuts or not, that's what I will be doing this morning.
On another note, I just want to thank all of you that have been stopping by to check out my blog. I owe a big note of thanks to you all and especially to
who was nice enough to direct her readers my way. In a short time she helped send my followers from 4 to 112! It's been great for me because most of you have blogs too, and I've been getting some great ideas from you. I have to reorganize my method of following all you amazing teacher bloggers. Right now, I technically only follow one blog, but I have well over 150 saved in my "favorites" bar that I read all the time. I need to clean that out and just start officially following you all.
To celebrate the increase in readers, and to say a big thanks, I am planning to do a little give-away. I'm in the process of putting together a little package of things that I think would be fun to win. So, stay tuned! I'll be posting about it in the next couple of days.
Have a great weekend! Crazy me is off to school now!

I totally get your wanting to go in for a few hours on Saturday morning! You are exactly right...it does free up the rest of your week! Plus I don't know about you but isn't it nice not to have a big line of people waiting for the copy machine? Happy Saturday!
