Squeeze!

The end of the school year squeeze has official begun! With only twelve days of school left and the sun shining outside our windows, it is getting to be more difficult to get anything done in the classroom. Many of the students (and myself) have started to long for idle summer days. The list of end of the year chores are mounting and the time to get them finished in seems to be just not enough. I would rather worry about how to spend my day of nothing and when I need to put on sunscreen again, but instead it is class lists, packing my classroom, and end of the year festivities. Oh well, sunscreen, swimming, and days of nothing will be coming soon enough!

Enjoy ~SJ

What's even more amazing that while it feels like we're squeezing the last bits into the year, I have no idea how to fill the days! It's this weird balance between opposing ends of panic...

I have no way to fix it, but I officially hate the last two weeks of school. Regardless of where you put the last day, there will always be two weeks that come before it. Maybe...have a two week vacation that begins on June first, then come back on June 15th for the last day of school, then have summer vacation. Sounds a bit dodgy, I think.
