Friday, November 18th
Today, as everyone else knows, our district had an early out. I wasn't planning on even having school, but after the school day started I realized they had probably made the right decision... UNTIL the snow started. Once the snow and wind began, the faculty members and myself realized they would probably be making the call to cut the day short anytime. Sure enough, the decision was made at 9:30 that the kids would get out at 11. What surprised me the most about the decision is how happy all of the staff were. I had pictured them panicking, thinking that their whole week of content and lessons would be messed up/pushed back. That really didn't seem to be the case, though. My CT was wonderful at handling the situation. She remained very calm, and her mood seemed to rub off on the students. They were surprisingly calm and handled the news very well. I'm thankful that I got the opportunity to witness an early out, as most likely I will have to deal with that in the future.
I experienced a snow day during my experience as well! My CT handled calling parents and making sure everyone finds a way home. No one would be left alone! It was nice seeing how calm she was and made sure everyone eles was calm as well.
