Week One of summer vacation.
It's almost enough to make me believe in a higher power.
I am so glad to be done with classroom prep! It was really getting tough there in the last weeks... I wonder if the kids could tell. Probably.
Still, it was a great year. I enjoyed my students just about 95 percent of the time, which I think is pretty excellent, and I found I have pretty terrific colleagues, which is also excellent.
And now I'll know so much more as I prepare this summer for next year.
I do hope I'll be able to turn my mind off of teaching for at least a little while. And then of course turn it back on when it's time to buckle down. But not yet.
To all summer vacationing teachers in the land, I salute you, drink a toast to you, and wish you great, meaningful rest!

I'm so glad you are unwinding--teachers need that downtime. If we lived near each other, I would invite you to have margaritas with me on the patio and we would toast ourselves. So here's a virtual toast: to us!
