Tuesday SOL: Is this how the year ends?


This is a Tuesday
Slice of Life.
All participants are writing about one moment, one part of their day. 
Check out the Two Writing Teachers website for many more reflections on teaching.


A blur of days, celebrations, moments, to do's, as the year winds down. How does it close so quickly? Somehow, everything fits in: silent auction, plays and performances, end of year rituals (walk to the metro, water fun day, children's sharing box), reading our favorite books, washing and scrubbing the classroom toys...entering data, writing report cards, preparing for the final Learning Showcase.

As a result, I'm keeping this short.

Enjoy these portraits of my teaching staff by a charming preschooler - from left to right, these are
Ms. Keynes, Ms. B, and, me, Ms. Ingram :-)

  3. Yes! It is crazy this time of year. I leave and 7:30 and get home around 5:30. Taking a recess or lunch break is a luxury I haven't time for. But it will soon be over and then summer will be here!

  4. You are absolutely right. Everything does somehow get done in its own time and then - boom - it's over.

  6. "Somehow everything fits in..." You're so right about that! Even as we feel rushed, we can still find time for those special rituals and moments at the end of the year. Enjoy your summer!
