Although I still have a faint cough, we are almost healthy right now. The temps in the 40s the last few days have allowed the boys to play outside on their scooters. To their dismay, daddy doesn't think it's time to bring the bikes out quite yet as there is still tons of piled snow and puddles in the street.
Last Friday we were treated to Connell's spring kindergarten concert at his school. Although all 65-70 of the morning/K plus kindergartners were part of the large numbers, the kids also each got to be part of a small group. They dressed Connell in a fake tuxedo complete with top hat and cane and he did a Skidamarink number alongside a handful of others boys. It was adorable. Liam was antsy and so it took away from my ability to concentrate although my nagging cough didn't help either. The footage didn't turn out great due to our seats and the lighting.
Although it feels like an eternity waiting, I will find out about my job (for next year) in about 5 weeks. The list comes out on Friday, April 9th although it is possible that the HR director will have some inside info to give me a few days prior. At this point it looks like it might be a combo position between Rosemount High and Eagan High (2 sections at RHS and 3 at EHS) although that is just speculation from hearing things from people. For sure I will be teaching Spanish and it will be several years before I will be able to make my way back into teaching French in the district. Those who are tenured and that are only licensed in French have priority over those of us licensed in two areas. Of the approx. 15 licensed French teachers in our district, only about half of us have other licensure areas and most of us will be made to teach in them until there are some retirements.
The French contest is heating up as well. March 26th I will have all my 800 student names and categories and will starting to put together the master schedule and print certificates, etc. From the end of March until the end of April (the actual contest date is April 20th although I still have work for about a week beyond), I will spend most of my freetime on contest duties. This is year #14 and my last.
Sorry I have no great pix to post right now. Hopefully as spring arrives, I will have some things to photograph!
