No Spring Break for me

This is my spring break week. Zoie was on break last week. I have been working every day for 2-4 hours on completing my 12 pages for my National Board Professional Teaching Portfolio. This is my third and final attempt to earn the required 275 points. I have 271 points in the bank. I need to improve my whole class discussion entry score from 2.25 to 2.5 in order to gain the 4 needed points. I will also be taking a Calculus test in June to help my score. Unfortunately, the scores are not reported until Thanksgiving. After I mail this in (it's due 4/15), I will be so happy. This is very important to me. It will extend my teaching certificate and give me a yearly bonus of $10,000 per year for the next 5 years. It is almost over -- I am editing p. 10 of 12 now and then will send it off to a colleague to review.

Trusting this will be the year. You always keep your plate very full. Will you find a new adventure next year to fill this time slot, lol?
