Spring? Testing and Grateful Sentiments

It is nearly Spring Break! The temps are still in the 40's and I still see my breath as frosty puffs each morning as I get off the servis (teacher school bus) and again at night as I walk outside with friends. The nice thing though about the weather is that I have seen some stores carrying more flowers than they had been and if I really wanted to I could buy a potted tulip or two.

On a more educational note:

I have almost all my students tested and have scheduled their classes with me. They are quite funny at the end of a test or a testing session... they all say, "Thank you."

Never in all my years testing students at home did students say "thank you" for any test I ever gave them... I did hear them say "thank you" when I would reschedule a test... lol!

Well, my friends, there still remains some teacher tasks to do tonight... I better do some of them or I will not have any free time tomorrow.

Enjoy your first day of Spring and I will fill you in on how Spring came to Istanbul sometime tomorrow night or early next week! Please be sure to let me know how Spring came to you!
