Taking Zinc

Flu season must be in full swing. I have 11 wonderful first and second grade students in my class. Well, I usually have 11 wonderful first and second grade students. Today I had 5. Yes, only 5! Needless to say, I threw out all of my lesson plans for the day and winged it a bit. The students I did have loved the day, though, as they felt that they didn't have any real work to do. I hope we have school tomorrow, but they are predicting snow, and the district my school is in closes school for practically nothing, so I'm not holding my breath. It's hard to get into any schedule after the break if I don't have any students or if we don't have school.
