So, I am not sure why we say that the school year is "winding down" at this time of year. As a teacher, it feels as though EVERYTHING is happening all at once, and we are trying to jam it all in and then it will abruptly come to an end.
There are NWEA computerized tests, we have screenings, DRA's, and oh yeah, there is that thing called TEACHING, still trying to happen. There are field trips, bake sales, end of year PTA events, sporting events, award ceremonies, musical showcases, dance recitals, and oh so much more! But, to me it does not at all feel like it is winding down, it feels like everything is amping up to come to that distinct halt.
I am definitely feeling the stress of the season. I know that it will all happen, that it will all work out. But, will I make it through to the other side with my sanity still? That is questionable. Somehow I maintain my sanity each year, but I fear that one of these years... well, we'll just have to wait and see. I hope to see you on the other side. I guess you'll know after my post on June 22 (the students' last day).
