- Buy fabric and make chair bags for my classroom
- Lots of piano practice
- Read lots of books
- Start studying towards my Graduate Certificate in Education (Inclusive Education) which I hope will eventually lead to my Masters of Education
- Prep my classroom for next year including setting up for The Daily 5
- Review Science & Social Studies Units and think about how I can improve on them for next year
- Write Unit plans for Language Arts Units
- Read some more books
- Catch up with friends
- Watch a movie or two
- Set up my plan book for the first half of next year
- Take a trip to Bangkok for some Rest and Relaxation
- and I'm sure I'll think of other things to do.
So that's what my life looks like for the next couple of months. I wonder how much I will actually achieve. Now you know why I need a long summer break. Believe me it won't all be "holidays"!
Go well in these last days of the school year and then have a great break.
ReplyDeleteBut yes, when I was teaching, I found that I spent probably half the holiday time working - preparing and planning, making and studying. But the good thing is, you can do it at your own rate and in your own time. So enjoy the planning, enjoy the resting and let us know how you go.
Shall pray for you as soon as I have hit publish on this comment.

Thank you. Yes, I will enjoy being able to do things at my own pace and fitting the work in among other fun activities. Thanks for the encouragement Meredith.
