wishful thinking

I find myself fantasizing about summer with disturbing frequency.

This has been a good school year, and I can tell — finally — that the children have learned a lot. I will send them off to kindergarten, ready for success. But I have been tired all year, and I’m starting to stumble. I’m finding it hard to do everything I need to do, as teacher, as mentor, as mother, as wife, as friend, and I just can’t wait to sleep in and breathe once school gets out.

I TOTALLY agree! Only 13 days left……..

the end is so hard! good luck finding some internal motivation for the last few weeks. i’m struggling to hold on to mine 🙂

I supervise student teachers and I’m SO ready. The end of a year is the end of a year…no matter what we teach:).

I only have 10 working days left. Not that I’m counting or anything. 🙂

I forgot to add, that I will really miss this year’s two groups of kids. I just need a summer vacation, LOL.

I’m done on Thursday. Sleeping in sounds so good. I have been so tired also. I’m not sure if I’ve been trying so much harder to be a “better” teacher or what. I hoping to find that much needed rest too.
