Ready for Winter Break

Posted by Alex Sharp Dec 20, 2008

Yesterday was our school's last day before releasing for the holidays, and I was as bouncy as my students, even though I like to think I kept the bounciness inside me a little better. We ended our unit and shared our work with parents, who were up at school for a variety of end of semester activities. The only hard part of getting ready for break is that there are students who move away over break, and it is always a sad to know a student will not be in my classroom when we return from the holidays.

Teachers have a lot of end of semester work, like getting grades recorded and turning them in, cleaning and organizing the room for the start of the year, and all the various little holiday duties, such as writing thank you cards. I am looking forward to having time with my family, and I am already planning some new semester activities, which of course I will post on Suite 101!
