- Start and finish AvErAginG grades.
- HoUnD those notorious ones who still have MiSsInG WoRk
- Make a LiSt of all of the BrIlLiaNt ideas I've had throughout the course of the year. The conversation in my mind usually sounds like this, "Well that was a BiG, FaT FloP...next year I'll do this instead". I have to write them down to avoid repeating said FloPs.
- Do DiShEs...we have no clean SiLvErwArE...YiKeS!
- Make AwArDs for the FiFth GrAdE Spelling Bee, Track Meet, Brainiacs, and Art Show.
- Write a LeTteR to my kids' parents thanking them for sharing their TeRrIfiC kids with me this year.
- OrGaNiZe my files so teaching the same grade level next year will be to my GreAtEsT benefit.
- Somehow get my kids from the 1920s to the end of WWII in 10.5 days...without them DeSpiSinG me for it!
- Figure out an end of the year GiFt for my kids and MaKe it.
- R.S.V.P. for the EnD of the YeAr PaRtY...do I want ChIcKeN or PorK?
- Sit down with Dan to plan our AnNiVeRsArY.
- Somehow figure out where we can have a GaRdEn without getting EleCtrIcUteD upon digging.
- Write NoTeS to my kids.
- Make those DoCtoR appointments I've been putting off for a few years now...Seriously another summer cannot pass without me taking care of some silly things.
- Make a SliDeShOw so all of the pictures I take throughout the year can be put to good use.
- EnJoY my last few days with them in the midst of the ChAoS...SaVoR how truly DeLiGhtfuL my group of 27 is this year.
- Try to SlEeP so I can end the year a KiNd and PaTieNt teacher, wife, friend, and person.
With that, I'm done for now...Just thinking about all of it is making me TiReD :) Who knows maybe I should have been doing the above mentioned things instead of just writing about them, but it's too LaTe for that...I'm off to BeD!
