I'm Sorry, Kids

By the end of this week, I will have missed 6 days out of three weeks. 6/15. Almost half of the days. And although I am missing them for school related business (intervention meetings, training, etc), I am feeling an overwhelming combination of guilt and exhaustion. I keep trying to show my kids how they are going to benefit from me being gone (Hey, guys! We get to have new computers in our room if I go to this three day training!), but I know that they are starting to feel neglected. Thank goodness I have a wonderful regular sub who knows how things go in my room, and who my students enjoy.
