As a kid I was always caught off guard by the end of the school year. "How can that be?" you might ask. The weather warms up and we should know that summer vacation is nearing. The focus inside the classroom turns to testing and test preparation.
The kid "me" would still wake up one day, every June, completely surprised that, all of a sudden, there was no school bus to catch or lunch to pack. It might have been because I really,k really loved school.
It's amazing that this year I could be caught off guard. We watch the calendar closely so as not to miss J's senior events. We're preparing the house and grounds for a graduation ceremony.
The little ones are giddy.
Still, I just looked up at my teaching calendar and found, much to my surprise, that I only have two days of work left.
And I'm sad. Because I really, really love my students.
