School is over for the summer on Friday. So of course, all the students quit paying attention last Wednesday. Also, the teachers have really stopped trying to teach and we are just in “control them until Friday” mode. Because, let’s be honest, we’re just as excited about summer break as they are.
Not helping my concentration and commitment levels is the fact that my mackerdoodle’s Nana and Papa (my Mom and Dad) have come all the way from Northern B.C. just to see her. Fortunately, they are fine with visiting with us when she’s napping, or down for the evening.
So do I really want to go to school in the mornings? Not really, and neither do my students. As far as this school year is concerned, were all done. We’re just waiting for the calendar to catch up.

I can relate to the the way you feel. School ends here June 4th. The teachers started the count down to summer after spring break! Sometimes I think we look forward to summer more then the kids.

AAAAAAAAAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRRRGH! School is in session here until mid June. I’m totally already in summer break mode: resenting the alarm, hating the clock, despising the calendar, craving the hot sun and the cool pool. I have NO IDEA how I’m going to make it another 5 weeks or so. UGH!
