Back to school for Term Two

I was back inside the classroom today, as Support Staff for youth with intellectual disabilities.  It's back to school for primary, intermediate and secondary students in NZ.  Term Two will be shorter just nine weeks compared to the 12 weeks of Term One.  The 25-minute drive back and forth to Hamilton was a refreshing one, made more so by the constant rain.  I can almost hear the parched earth welcoming the rain.
