continuous learning calendar

This is the first year for my school district to begin a continuous learning calendar, also known as year round school. We began August first which was when the temperature outside was still 100+ degrees. This was rough for classrooms where the air conditioning was not working properly, but fortunately my classroom was nice and cool.

Last month we had our first two week break for fall break which was formerly two days. I was able to take care of some necessary things like changing the oil in my car and buying the tags for our vehicles.

One day I went to the zoo with my mom and my two nieces. I finally go to see the baby elephant at our zoo and some tiger cubs.







On one of the weekends I went down to Grapevine, TX with one of my coworkers and my cousin. We went to the outlet mall, took a mini wine tour on main street and shopped at the shops along the way.

So far I am liking this continuous learning calendar thing. Our Thanksgiving break is the same, it will be Wednesday-Friday. After Thanksgiving we go back to school for ten days and then we get three weeks off for Christmas. Not too shabby.
