The End of the School Year
I know there are many parents who probably aren’t looking forward to summer vacation. I’m sure it takes a lot of planning to keep the kids busy all summer.
This is the time of the year when I just exhale. I love to look and reflect on these last days. It’s amazing to see how much the kids have changed from the beginning of the year. Thinking about all they learned makes me happy.
I always told myself that if there came a time when I didn’t like teaching, I would stop and go do computer networks or sell real estate (I have a license for both). This year was a great year and I loved teaching my classes. I loved watching the 6th graders grow up so much over the year. As the 8th graders graduated today, I reminded my seventh graders that it was there time to shine as 8th graders :)
The summer is here and I have a lot of decorating, celebrating and relaxing to do in my home with Lee. I’ve always called it my “new” home, but this month I gave up the word new because it feels right.
I love celebrating the end of the school year. Lee and I have reservations for dinner and dancing in Manhattan this weekend. It’s a tradition we started over 10 years ago to welcome summer!
Hugs,
marlene
