As the year comes to an end, there is still much to get done on the teacher's end. I was in a crazy dash to finish responding to journals today. Because I assigned the final journal last Friday, that meant I was pressed for time to get these back to the kids. Working all weekend, I was able to get EVERY journal graded and responded to by today. I also wrote a 1/2 page response to each kid.
Insane?
Yeah, I know.
My mom even spent her first official day of retirement in my classroom to help me out with a few things. She even bought me lunch (I have skipped lunch to work for the last couple of months.). She's pretty awesome.
As we left my classroom today, my mom noticed that I only had one bag on me. I said I know! It felt so light (I am known to be a bag lady, taking work home on almost a nightly basis the last few weeks.). I told my mom it felt strange.
Grateful the end is near.
Well...at least until I start teaching the summer creative writing class at ASU...
