The sun is shining.

It is going to be warmish today - or at least, warm by the standards of Hamilton in April. I will probably have Games Day outside today for French class. It's in the afternoon, right before second break, and the day will be at its warmest by then.

I learned a lot more details of the provincial package to teachers through the newspaper this morning than I have yet learned from my union. The only disappointing thing I saw was that the 200 minutes prep time is to be "phased in" over the duration of the contract. That means some people will get it next year and some won't see it for two or three years after that. Still, it will happen. It's unlikely to change our staffing numbers much for next year, though. I might as well get used to the idea of finding a way to teach the assignment I'll be given.
