Today was the last day of my four day weekend. It's also the last time I have a weekday off until Memorial Day. We have 8 weeks of school left until the year is over. That's 37 days of school left.

When I look at it that way I get nervous about getting everything done I want to get done with my students. But, I will be relieved when this year is over. I just really need this summer in more ways than one. Besides it being a very stressful school year, it's been a long cold winter. The summer will do me good, though. It always does. I always feel like I'm ready to take on everything my job entails once I've had my summer break. However, for now I need to focus on what needs to be done for the rest of the school year.

I've made pretty good progress with that already. I've managed to keep up with my grade book since 4th quarter started. I really hope I am able to keep that up because it'll make doing report cards SO MUCH EASIER, if I can keep up with it. Also, I've got the next three weeks of lesson plans complete and a good start on the lesson plans for the rest of the year.

Michaela got her evaluation back from her gymnastics instructor tonight. She has moved up to level 1 and is really happy about that. It means she's no longer at any type of beginner stage. She was so cute tonight when she was showing me and her daddy her evaluation.
