More Movin' and Shakin'

You know how there are some things you never get tired of talking about? Around here it is the infamous earthquake weeks of last April. Big and little earthquakes shook the nation's capital, students weren't allowed to come to class for three weeks, we launched online school, and some of us teachers went a little stir crazy. 

For as much as we talk about it, I really didn't think it would happen again. Ah, how wrong I was.

Monday night: I had just fallen asleep when I was rudely awakened by some violent shaking. Disoriented, I looked around, sat up, tried to figure my life out.

As soon as I remembered about these lovely things called earthquakes, I jumped out of bed and ran outside, barefoot, in the pouring rain. A 7.2 earthquake somewhere out in the ocean caused a lot of moving and shaking around the country. 

Fast forward to today. We haven't had classes all week and no one really understands why the government wont let us have school. Teachers have been sending home work online. We have started making ridiculous videos to send to our students. It's the infamous earthquake weeks all over again. 

We are hoping classes will resume Monday and we can continue on with our school year. 

How about some uplifting news? Construction on the new library has begun! Hopefully in a couple of months we will have a brand new space for reading and learning.
