I am officially freeeeeeeeeeee for the summer!
I am feeling giddy that tomorrow I don't have to go to work and can do whatever I want, when I want! I'll most likely spend it working in my gardens and yard, running to Home Depot and maybe even taking a nap. . .
This year I switched grade levels (up to 2nd), renewed my National Boards in Literacy and had the largest class ever in my 17 years
(and 90% of my boys were 'squirrels at a rave').
The last few weeks were CrAzY, with everything winding down, putting on a triathlon for kids in our city, creating and distributing our school's yearbook and being DJ for our annual end-of-the-year DJ party. . .all while my husband was in Japan. . .thank goodness my mother-in-law flew up to help me out!
But I LOVE all the FUN things I'm involved with at my school! Time to have fun in the classroom and at school continues to dwindle and I've had enough so I'm bringing the FUN back in any big or little way I can.
Speaking of fun, have you read the book "The Day the Crayons Quit" by Drew Daywalt? HILARIOUS and clever! I read it a few weeks back and as I was reading it I said out loud "This story would make a great Readers' Theater play." and everyone cheered. So I whipped up a script and we performed it for parents in the music room with microphones and a black, velvet curtain...so awesome!
