This morning I got to school at 7:00 and left at 5:30. <br /><br />What is interesting is that my first year, our bell schedule was 8:40-2:50. I can't remember when the day started lengthening, but I know its been 8:00-4:00 for quite awhile. Even with the longer day, I still don't feel there are enough hours in the day or enough days in the year to teach them everything they need to know to be successful at the next level.Kim Hugheyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14765229714690518433noreply@blogger.com
