like a top


The countdown is on, and I'm spinning like a top.
  • Today was my final Monday morning character assembly with this class.
  • Tomorrow I take the Poetry Masters out for ice cream. I had seven students this year who memorized all 34 poems of the week.
  • Wednesday is Character Day with water, cooperation games, lots of fun, and Andy's frozen custard.
  • Thursday is my annual Lawsonland Reading Pajama Party.
  • Friday is the last day of school.
My, oh my!

I've been missing you lately. Very much. I'll be back tomorrow night with my Wednesday list, but I had to say, "Hello" now. I won't be around your places much until things calm down a bit. Say, Saturday morning. Is it a date?

What's been spinning you around lately?

Derrick,

Frozen custard tastes remarkably like ice cream, but it is much lower in fat. Pretty good.

I look at your photos and can feel the joy. Spring has come here finally so I am spinning with blossoms and greenery and new beginnings.

I went through boxes of treasures yesterday...notes from teachers reminded me of those who touched my life and made me who I am today. Your students will no doubt think of you!!!

Meri said...

You are a precious gift for your students. Blessings -- and have a relaxing summer.

What a beautiful "top" you have spinning for you!
Geez, it really did go by fast, didn't it? I miss my kids already. I am not good at goodbyes, so I rush through them to feel less pain and then I realize I never really said a real goodbye. At least not a fulfilling complete one ~ who knows maybe that's how its mean't to be for me.
Anyway I love your take on life!

Poetry Masters, ice cream and pajama parties?
I SO wish I had you as a teacher.
I wish I wish.

Oldies, but Goodies
