Today is Martin Luther King Jr.'s birthday, so the schools are closed today in Hoke County (as in much of North Carolina). I am taking the opportunity to finish grading projects that were handed in before the Christmas break, because the final grades are due by Friday!

I really want to get next term off on a good start, so (hopefully) I'll be writing some lessons in advance, and reading up on some classroom management stuff this week. How I long for the next long weekend...
