3 and a DAMN 1/2!
5 1/2 after that and this year from HELL is history!!!! |
Love the countdown ..... although I have until July 3rd to wait for my last day of school. A little bit different here. However, I don't start back with students until August 27th. Anyhow, for those who are soon to start their summer break, ENJOY, ENJOY, ENJOY!

A friend and I have just instituted MONDAY happy hour as a "thing." It makes Monday that much less sucky as the year winds down and the kids lose their minds almost as much as we do.

Yahoo for BK!
We are not nearly as close. I don't count down until the very end of the year. I refuse to believe I am running out of time. So much left to teach! I think girlikeu2 has the right idea for tackling Mondays! :wine: I am late getting my kid to bed as we were doing homework. Tired mommy. For a teachers kids she sure does miss the homework deadline sometimes. Sigh... |

I have to say that being a parent makes me a MUCH better teacher because I GET how "stuff happens" is a valid explanation sometimes. I also think that "it just wasn't worth the melt down (hers or mine)" should be a valid excuse every so often. Sign me Underachiever but darn it all I am not dying of a stroke from 3rd grade stress. |
Personally I am all for a critical look at the function of homework.
And I agree, being a parent, has made me a better teacher. :) |
Well - it's here! The last 1/2 day with students....seeing my 8th graders yesterday in our last regular classroom setting - I got pretty choked up telling them goodbye, best wishes in HS, etc. I don't usually get all choked up but, this has been such a rough year, I depended on them for survival more than they will ever know....but I think they really got to see that I do love them- I do care about them - even though I push them very hard to do their best! Three yrs together - you bond as no other class can.
Having said that.... The year ends as it started....What is my schedule today? I have no idea....I do know I can wear jeans and must have grades posted by 2:30. Then - a bunch of us are meeting for food and adult beverages.... 3 1/2 post planning, 2 days of leadership institute and the summer is mine!!!!!! YES!!!!!! Now - vacation plans - either a cruise or a week in Sanibel.. Who's game????? |

Congrats on surviving and thriving BK! I am a little jealous of you having the moment of verklempt chokinguppedness - I haven't had that since 2009 when I left the school I loved to move and cried like a big baby while hugging my old principal. Good news is that one of my former students and her mom are planning to come visit me in Key West the weekend after school is out! And I am voting for Sanibel --- generally they don't lose power and end up floating in the middle of the ocean for days waiting for Coast Guard rescue ;) |

BK has earned the adult specialty beverage break and the chance to wear jeans!
:) You made it! |
