There are so many things to do before ending the school year that it doesn't really feel like the end of the year. Remember that feeling on the last day of school when it felt like all the weight of assignments lifted off your shoulders? Teachers feel that too. I definitely did last year, but this year I have so many things to do before starting summer vacation that so far, I haven't felt that relief.
Brooke and I went away with our staffs on retreat to recap and plan for the coming year. Today I've been working from the computer at home. We have been really lucky and were given $5,000 from our school district to spend at Barnes & Noble on books to help our students in next year. I've been put in charge of spending the money. It's kind of fun, but I hope everyone is happy with my picks. Besides that, I'm trying to edit student writing and illustrations into a book that I will send away to get published.
I'll probably feel that the end of the year is here when I'm at the airport checking in for our trip to South America next week.
