Yesterday was my last full day of school. It really hasn’t sunk in yet. For one, unlike last year, I don’t want this one to end. I really love the kids I’ve had this year, even my 5th period class. Okay, I could do without my 7th period. They weren’t bad, I just couldn’t ever get them to be serious about their work. They always had something else to do.
I got a very good evaluation — the best I’ve gotten for years, though we all lost points when our school was on the NCLB Unacceptable Yearly Progress list.
I am really looking forward to summer. I’m going to be writing our district finals for our Visual Basic class and going to staff development and that’s all. And because I won the STEM Award, I don’t have to work unless I want to. I am thinking about doing a short term web design contract.
All in all, it’s been one of my best years of teaching.
