This week is going to be a short week and a long week at school.
It will be a short week because the students go home on break at noon on Thursday and the school is closed for the holiday starting Friday.
It will be a long week because Christmas is fast approaching and today's students are like students of old in that the more they try to behave in the run-up to the big day, the more they tend to fail to do so.
My approach is to try to keep them so busy with work these last few days that they won't have time to get into trouble.
How is your week shaping up? Will it be a busy one?

Since I work at home and do a lot of writing my time is my own but I want to write up a storm so that I can take off several days right on Christmas without worrying about falling behind in the content writing work I do.

We break up on Wednesday, although we only have students in for Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday is a Professional Development day, happily. A bit of training, a mandatory staff meeting and a buffet luncheon. Quite a nice end to the term. :)

@DWDavis Your lunch will probably be far nicer than ours. We have potentially four hundred souls on the staff roll!

Kind of average busy, I guess. I still have shopping to do.

Christmas is in my place on January 7, so there's still no break.
