It's (almost) here!

We did it!  Tuesday was our last day of school.  We packed and played and mushed all the last minute stories in the day that we could.  We ate the last box of goldfish from the cupboard and even snuck in some popsicles in the afternoon.  As I waved goodbye to the string of buses with my colleagues I saw another great year coming to a close.  Sure, there are things I could have done differently, lessons I probably should have taught and classroom materials I should have put back when I was finished using them.  

Which leads me to my next point...it's ALMOST here.  Summer will officially begin when I've put those things back where they belong.  I have the daunting task this year of cleaning up, boxing and moving my things to a "holding room" until a classroom is transformed into my new classroom.  This new classroom will be worth all of moving I'm doing today.  It will have bathrooms...ahhh! :)  It will have tile...cha-ching!  It will be wonderful!  But today, I put on my work clothes and I move, move, move.  I clean, clean, clean.  I sort, sort, sort.  I refuse to pack and move things I have not used in the last three years.  I may make trips to recycling or our area thrift shop.

Here goes nothin' and hoping that tomorrow it is (really) here!  Sweet, sweet summertime!
