Apparently, this time of year is difficult for all involved...

This is what they children feel like. We're all busting at the seams to get out of school. I am trying to plan out the final 6 days of school and
I am struggling between meaningful instruction and task managing work. I still have about 50 pages left of PEAK to read to them and that could take the next two days in class. I want to have them write letters to me about this last year as well as their wishes for next year in reading. I am eager for the break and ready to reinvent the wheel this summer. I feel fresh out of good ideas and hope to feel more inspired after there is a small break from the classroom. In the meantime, I will teach summer school. Good idea or not, I' m not sure. I guess when I feel like it was not the best idea, I'll think fondly of the Europe trip this summer employment will be paying for.
I am eager to read this summer and to take up some hobbies, that's one thing I want to have next year- hobbies outside of my classroom. Maybe a cooking class or an art class... also thinking about joining the gym so I can take the tropical tease class with some teachers at school. Oh, special interests, I miss you. I hope we can reconnect this summer!
