It’s Wednesday night and I can see the light at the end of the tunnel. The light is bright! It’s so bright! I really am close now.
But tomorrow will be a long day. Thursdays are always the worst days and tomorrow will be truly the worst Thursday. The worst of the worst.
Four block classes. No prep. Then several hours stuck at work getting ready for our Celebration of Learning (formerly known as Open House). I will be at work a solid 12 hours. It will be a long, and kind of awful day.
But then it will be a steady descent to the end of the school year. We’re always end later than most parts of the country, and even most schools in the area, so we still have three weeks of school left. But they should be much easier than the last month has been.
Today was the big party. 40 students came. The tamales were warm enough (barely) and the horchata wasn’t too watered down (should definitely add the ice at the last minute next year). The kids seemed to enjoy their prizes. A few of them showed genuine gratitude and thanked me sincerely.
I’m glad its over and I spent several hours cleaning up my classroom, which I should be able to make presentable for parents tomorrow night. I just finished editing the final video and the free reading boards have all been processed. Truly, the light is bright.
I just need to get through tomorrow. It’s a rough part of the tunnel, but it’s the end of the worst section for sure.
Thursdays are also my least favorite day, and this one is just beginning, sigh! But my day will not be as hard as yours. But like you said- once today is over, it’s all downhill to the finish.
You guys do end late- this is our last week of regular school, and then next week is finals, Thursday being the last day. I can’t wait!!! Even though I don’t work in the school system, I can’t wait to NOT get up at 5:30 am every day and get my daughter off to school. Summer is just so much easier for me.
Btw I hope you start the school year late! We always start mid-August which seems SO early.
Good luck with your day : )
adorable display! By time you see this it is OVER! CONGRATULATIONS on almost having the school year closed. Close enough to see real hope! So happy for you.
Another year well done!
