The end of the regular school year is in sight! As I was creating videos for my students who are still on full remote, I realized how much we ALL have endured. Those kids who remained remote... well, most have done well. I told them how proud I was of them and to the 8th graders I passed on some advice for High School and to the 7th graders that I hoped I would see them in person next year.
We finish on June 25th with students, and then I start again teaching summer school on July 6th. Not a huge turn around time, but I'll put my nose to the grindstone once more and get it done. I will be able to complete all of my necessary 11 month hours that I can in the month of July... then I'll rest. August will be for me.
Make sure you take time for yourself, really rest.
Here's my joys for this week:
1. My 8th grade students are doing really well with their final analysis songs. They are learning a lot about the songs they picked. More than they thought they would I think.
2. Our school district lifted the mandatory wearing of masks. My biggest fear was how the students would treat each other. Donna and I just approached it like everything else in our classroom.... RESPECT. We told the students that no matter what we want everyone to respect each other. So far so good.
3. Mark and Nate went to an event yesterday. It's a rendevouz called the Joey. They had a nice time and I'm glad to see Mark and Nate do this together.
4. I'm playing some a church again. It is nice.
5. Mark and I will celebrate our anniversary this week.
I hope you can find your joy this week.
