Whew! I Made It!
11:22 PM
The end of the school year evokes several emotions.


P.S. I finally finished another paint stick pack for beginning blends. You can find it {here} or you can just visit my Rockin' Teacher Store (the red button at the top of my blog pages) and use the code June2013 for 30% off your entire order . . . including all my paint stick sets.
- There is frenzy as you enter all test results, grades, and anything else that comes in a 'things to do before the end of school' email.
- There is panic as you frantically try to put everything in its place so that your room can be cleaned properly.
- There is exasperation as you try to fill your last days with educational fun that will tame your excited little munchkins.
- There is sadness as you promote your charges to the next grade. You have all become a family, and now your journey together has come to an end. It's amazing how close you get~I'm sure you've referred to your class as 'my kids,' right?
- There is excitement as you think of all the things you will accomplish over the summer . . . read a few books, go on vacation, sleep in, clean out the basement, . . . and the list goes on and on.
- There is anticipation as you enter Target or the Dollar Tree in search of goodies for your next class. We all know how quickly the next year comes around!
I know it's hard to be a teacher these days and many people (politicians) don't seem to appreciate all we do . . . but these emotions are part of the roller coaster of a teacher's life and actually help make the ride a little smoother! I choose to ride the roller coaster and experience the love and emotion that comes with being a teacher. How about you?
Have a wonderful summer everyone!
