Hooray for summer vacation (the kids have been gone since the 25th, but we have to be there til the 30th)

Here's what I did with my classroom yesterday:



I don't know what I'll be doing in there today, but you can bet it won't involve cleaning and stacking 36 desks and chairs, moving the filing cabinet, or emptying out the Closet Of Doom (which had stuff in it from 3 teachers ago).

.

Happy last day of school!

ps I've been out for over a month, but I'm subbing @ summer school tomorrow.

Dejavu.

When do you go back, Amber?

And - it turns out I get to start off my vacation with strep throat.
ROCK!

I think we have pre-planning the first week of August, and the kids come back the second week of August.

very tidy classroom Louise. How old is the school?

Linds finished last Thursday. Why is it kids want to do everything in the first few days off?

-we're going to the mall-can I sleepover at so and so's?-let's go to the movies-oooh belated birthday cash I am so going back to the mall-there's a pool party at Santanna's!-can I have a sleepover tonite?-ICE CREAM TRUCK!-

Sleepover tomfoolery currently in progress in da house of Jo. It'll be a long night.

Mid July she will be mopey and bored, count on it

Jo - at least your kids wants to do everything in the first few days... as opposed to having a hyperactive red head like me who wanted to do everything ALL THE TIME.

red head?

There must be photographic proof of that!
We demand it!

The kids finished here last Thursday, too (great bday gift for me!) but teachers had to be there til the 30th. We go back the 3rd of September and the kids come back on the 8th.
Jo - the school building is about 45 years old, but they put new windows and a new gym in about 10 years ago. And I am getting shelves, and an LCD projector over the summer!
David - those are the best glasses ever. And those jeans just add to the mystique.

I wish those jeans still fit...

Nothing like gunfire and screaming blood thirsty indians to wake you up in the morning! - Barkenstein

why, you don't look hyper at all David. :0

Those jeans look low and baggy David.
You started a movement!
Gangsta before it's time.
You fashion guru you.

word

Last day of school was the second time during the year that I was unable to impose some semblance of order.  First time was X-mas concert. 

The classroom pictured above is spotless compared to mine.  Must be a fairly newish school?

I'm back in late August.  Grade 4 again.
