Treading Water

I feel as if I'm just treading water until the last day at this point. We have 13-1/2 days left, and a LOT of things to turn in and trainings to take and all sorts of things going on. I found out on Friday that I may be moving to 3rd grade for next year. Not set in stone yet, but the possibility is there. And thus I've decided that I need to spend some time in the classroom next weekend cleaning and packing for potential moving. I needed to clean and pack for storing anyway... but if there's any possibility I may have to move stuff to a different classroom, I want to be ready! We'll have a half day work day on the 4th, and then the 5th (yes, a SATURDAY) is our mandatory work day... that's when I have to FINISH cleaning/packing/storing. And then the 6th, my family and I will be leaving for Port Aransas for a week. :) So, as tired as I'll be on Saturday, I get to come home and pack my bags for vacay.

Doesn't look like I will be taking a personal day from here on out. Just no time to do that! Everything's fast paced from here on out. This week we'll be studying for their CBA tests, and then Friday is Field Day. Next week, they have CBA's and they'll have their taste testing for the class cookbook project we're working on. That's a little every day, and presentations involved. Then the following week we have Monday off for Memorial Day, and then we have just 3 and a half days that week... which will be taken up doing cleaning, and having some fun. I'm pretty sure this Friday we're having the kids watch Finding Nemo. We have the TEKS for showing it, and we can justify showing it to wrap up our habitats/life cycles/adaptations units in science that we've covered the past 12 weeks. :) SOOOO ready for school to be over! I'm ever thankful that I have a job now... and I LOVE it... even with all the struggles and challenges... but I am SO READY for a break! Kinda bummed I may not be working with the same team next year, though... but maybe I won't be moving after all... just have to wait and see!
