When the Students are Away...

So, just what do teachers do when they are in school, but the students have the day off?  Well, in our district, the teachers go to school!  So far today, we have learned about the effects of poverty and homelessness on our students and the upcoming referendum.  Now, we have broken into smaller groups for additional lessons.  The 4th and 5th grade teachers are in a workshop about setting up and using Wikis with our classes.  This should be interesting and kind of fun.  I have worked on a wiki before, but I have not set one up, so I am hoping to learn a lot.  One thing is certain -- I will share what I learn with the students.  Hope all the kids are enjoying their long weekend and staying warm!
