The last day of school was welcome and ... anticlimatic. Fewer than half my homeroom showed up, and half of those checked out by the early dismissal. I enjoyed the day and my kids. We listened to tunes, cleaned and chatted. My principal dismissed teachers early too. I came home and took a nap.
Now, I'm at a coffee shop writing thank you notes to the many people I owe thanks to for this year. It's been humbling and awesome to pen the notes to my mentor, principal, custodians, secretaries, etc. I owe thank yous to my family and friends as well. I have learned and grown so much this year. If my students learned a tenth of what I have, they've had a fruitful year. My contract was not renewed due to budget constraints, but there is a strong likelihood it will. Now, I need to change gears to summer. I have goals to complete my two courses, plan my syllabi, write two features and possibly contribute to another blog. And read and run and relax.
