At long last.....

Today, at 12 noon, THEY departed. Summer break is at long last here. Teacher "Check out" tomorrow. Next paycheck in 105 days. You teachers out there, have a good summer, try to enjoy a well-earned rest from the rat race of discipline and testing issues, grading student work, dysfunctional parenting, ignoramus administrators and all the other stresses of modern day teaching life. ! I sure plan to!

Are you Ready for School to Start ?

Well, this school season is almost over. Only seven and a half more school days for me. That gives me time to get ready for the first week of the next school season, which opens up Aug. 28. I have found, over the years, that for the most part, the first week of school is almost always the same; class requirements and expectations, samples of the various activities we do in my classes, rules and procedures. So, why not prep for it at the end of the school year, so that it is ready to go when your new flock of students flys in ?
