Ok, so technically we still have a week and a half. But, come on its 90 degrees outside! (also, side note, I know I suck at blogging...it's possible I bit off more than I could chew with blogging, but it's like the friend you can call even after months of not talking and she still gets ya) I was super excited about these last couple of weeks of school, because they are fun! However, I got sick. Super sick. I actually had a fever sick. I have had to miss the last two days of school which breaks my heart and causes me lots of anxiety, but fever free I am and returning to my windowless classroom tomorrow.
Next week we have a week full of fun planned...career day, beach day, game day, talent show, awards...fun, fun, fun! I made it through our first year of common core, first year of homogeneous language arts grouping, first year of a windowless classroom, first year of grad school and HEY I'm done my second year of teaching. Am I burnt out...yes. Am I still going to teach summer school and keep taking grad classes through the summer...yes. Ask me how this works out in the fall and if I will keep doing all this next summer.
I honestly have to say that I have enjoyed this group of kids immensely. They are full of personality, humor, and WOW they are bright. I will miss each of these kiddos a lot! Because they are so awesome, and beyond amazing writers, I decided to give them my address and let them be my pen pal this summer. Will I receive hate mail or random knocks at my door...highly possible. But the idea is super fun!
Here is what I'm sending home with them on the last day of school...
