Today started with a bang...of thunder. Thankfully I don't have a small car because I wouldn't have been able to get out of my driveway. Within 30 minutes, the street was flooded to the top of the curbs. 7 students were absent. When one student came in later, she told me that they had overslept because the power was out.
As I was monitoring the class across the hall since the teacher was late, I told my class, "Y'all can work in your math book." Student I says, "Thank you, Ms. Justi." When I asked why he was thanking me, he replied, "For letting us do math.". I'm really going to miss thIs class.
