All Done!

Friday was the last day of school for me. For my class it was Thursday. I got all my work done, cleared out my room and was out of there by about 2:00. My neck was killing me. I said my tearful good-bye's to my friends who I will not be working with next year because they will be at a different school. I came home to meet Jim in the garage on his way to work. Kiss kiss and off he went. I went straight to my room to lay on my heating pad.

I feel very blessed to have the job that I have. I love teaching the little kids at school and I love my work place. I have great parent volunteers and could not do my job with out them. I work hard and learn a lot every year.

Now I am looking forward to some really nice warm weather, enjoying the company of my family, taking bike rides, walks, enjoying staying @ home and working in the yard(maybe not enjoying the working in the yard part so much).

I can't wait to see all of you next week. Of course I need to clean house from head to toe, bake, shop for groceries, and of of course I am taking a class on TWTh from 8-3:30. Oh well. We will see how things go.

Work!

I know that most people think that Kindergarten teachers don't have much home work to do, but I would like to let them know that we do a lot of work. I just spent my whole Sunday practically (except for Sacrament meeting) working on things for school. Memory books, assessments, report cards, filing, gathering, copying, assembling. I am tired and my neck hurts! I think I need a massage. The problem is is that I am not done. I need to finish everything by Friday the last day of school for me this year. Traditionally we get out next week and have one more week of learning, and assessing, but this year we have been cut 14 days which is a 7% pay decrease! I think I will really like Friday night if I am all done in my room. We will see.

Next week I am taking a class on Tuesday - Thursday and I am very excited for it. I will also be cleaning from head to toe around here because the whole family will be here. That is the best part. Can't wait to see those grand babies and hug them play with them and spoil them.
