Getting into a routine

It continues to be cold and rainy here.  As you can see from the picture I took early this morning the snow is very low on the mountains across the inlet.  It did brighten up for a short time this afternoon but we just had another heavy shower.  However it is warm in the building where I stay and it eventually warms up in the schoolroom - we have two small fan heaters. 
Well I am getting to know my 10 students and two helpers.  The two youngest (K and Gr 1) usually have their own full time aides.  Their two older brothers, Grade 3 and 4 will work when you are with them but not much else gets done.  One student is usually in French immersion in grade 5 but she hasn't brought any work with her and the student in Grade 8 has brought very little.  However I think we are going to be able to make it work.  School is from 9:00 - 12:00 and then I go hame for lunch and come back and plan - that takes longer than the school day!  But it is absolutley essential that I have a detailed outline prepared for every student. 
I hope that it warms up here soon.  Everyone is saying that this is a much colder April than usual.  I hope that where you are you are able to enjoy the Spring flowers and blossoms.  I'll let you know who things progress here.
Thanks again for you prayers and your interest.
