Today I felt like a lean, mean, grading machine. (I had help, of course, from the wonderful sub - my co-teacher took a personal day for her son's high school graduation - but it was still a lot! In fact, it took me until the final student left aftercare to finish the essays.) Whoever thought it was a good idea to try to squeeze in a few final assessments the last 2 days of school was clearly not thinking straight.
Oh wait...that was partially me.
(Note to self for next year - get those assessments in earlier!)
But all the grades are in, so now it's a matter of final analysis for the report cards.
Needless to say, Monday is going to be a long day/evening in order to get them all finished and off to the principal for final approval. After all, we've still got the comments to tackle.
But there's light at the end of the tunnel - next week brings the final one for the school year, and it's filled with field day, movie afternoon, "step-up" visits, student council elections, and likely more. I don't know how much "learning" time we'll have, but we are going to attempt to at least tackle conversion of fractions to decimals as well as a few other things. (Oh yes, and there will be massive cleaning going on - both for students and for ourselves...)
This year flew by so fast - and the summer's going to fly by even faster. Better brace myself for that...
yay! one more week! :) hang in there!
