Conquering the Abyss : Almost the End

Of course, I'm referring to the school year being almost done.

I try to end the school year on a high note, as I think every teacher tries to do: it sends kids away with some good, happy memories and it is a way to end the year that is nice and smooth.

Well, kinda.

For the kids, they get to have all sorts of fun... for us teachers we have to plan and execute the activities and I think I speak for everyone when I say that it would just be "easier" to not do any of the fun stuff! But then that takes all the fun out of it!

Here's what I have on the docket for the coming week (our last full school week of the year):

Monday -- Kids go on the limo ride for Major Saver ...Karaoke in the Classroom

Tuesday -- Sweet Treat from Miss Owens' kitchen (the kids love knowing I've made them something)

Wednesday -- Katy Park Day ... we hike to Katy Park and grill out. It will be a LONG day!

Thursday -- Awards Day ... Go visit third grade solar system projects

Friday -- EARLY OUT ... We present Solar System Projects

Next week:
Monday -- Lunch in the classroom (or maybe outside!) "help Miss Owens clean" day :D
Tuesday -- EARLY OUT -- Field Day -- Movie Day -- Last day w/ kids
Wednesday -- Professional Development day -- Teacher of the Year Banquet
Thursday -- WORK DAY (my favorite)

Aside from all that school-stuff, I have my own personal junk to attend to:
Monday -- Softball Board Duty Night
Tuesday -- SAC meeting -- Taco Tuesday
Wednesday -- Softball Board Duty Night
Thursday -- Healthy U meeting
Friday -- Begins the onslaught of graduation parties I am attending
Saturday -- Graduation (my cousin is graduating)
Sunday -- More graduation parties

I know that after this week, and once school is out, my schedule will be SO much more free to hit the gym. I am looking forward to having a little more flexibility in my gym schedule come summer time!
