I know that it does not feel like it, but today is the actual first dayof Spring. It is the Spring Equinox. Spring is always a time of new beginnings and fresh starts. I know it is hard to think that way this year. However, we do still have a lot to be grateful for and a lot to look forward to. I hope that this shutdown period has given you all some needed time to connect with your family. I know that I have been able to connect more to my own children during this time. They are driving me crazy at times (much like some of your hours do at times), but I do appreciate the time spent with them. I am very much looking forward to the time when we can get back together in school. I truly hope this happens sooner rather than later.

Last night I spent a great deal of time going through and responding individually to many emails and assignments. Many of you are doing a fantastic job of trying your best to complete each assignment. Please continue to email me with specific questions that you are having. I will do my best to respond as soon as I can. Yesterday, I received over 200 emails, so it it very hard to answer every one immediately. Be patient, and I will respond, but also be persistent. If you still need help in some area, then please continue asking.

It is a little gloomy today, but try to have a nice day! Try to do something fun!
