Summer is Here !!!!!

It's official, the kids are done, and the teachers have only a half day left. I love this time of year, the school year is done, the whole summer is spread out before you full of possibilities and TIME. We are going to be going to Kahlahari for a week, and are planning several week long girls and kids get aways. And believe it or not, I think that I will start out my summer vacation by painting and soliciting donations for the Pig Roast.

We got our assignments for next year this week, and I am torn. They don't have me teaching on the teams next year which I will miss It's nice to have that connection with the kids, and have three other teachers to work closely with. The up side of not being on the teams is that I don't have the pressure and accountability of the OGT. I will have the chance to teach all electives next year. The down side is that I will be teaching two classes that I have never taught, one that I haven't taught in years and 1 that I don't really enjoy teaching. That all boils down to an awful lot of summer prep time. The other good thing is that I will have lots of upperclassmen, and I will get to see some of my favorite students again next year. For some of these kids it will be our third year together.

Well, I am off to enjoy my evening, had a great walk this evening...I just beat the rain, and I was able to finish 4 miles in 1 hour. I am really looking forward to this weekends Relay for Life, a chance to get my 12 miles in, and help TNG raise money for the American Cancer Society.
Have a great week.
