TOSA Corner: YOU MADE IT!! Happy Spring break! Here is an article called “21 Things Every Teacher Should Do on Spring Break”  from 2016 and it made me laugh out loud at some of the things.  I hope you all do exactly what you want, when you want, and with whomever you want next week. You all have worked so hard and it’s time for a break. Last night was a great night, but now it’s time to rest and refresh. See you all in 11 days. ;)
