Summer is coming!

Have you ever had one of those days when you are just in a funk?  Today was that day for me.  I just couldn't shake it all day.  I can tell that summer is coming as my students are about ready to literally climb the classroom walls (you don't believe me, but this group would climb them if allowed!)  My best friend and teaching buddy is packing up and moving to a new grade (that will be addressed in a future post), and we had our last writing assessment today.  It seemed that everywhere I turned I was facing something unpleasant or sad.  The highlight of my day was seeing our fifth grade students perform their musical Annie!  It was amazing!  A true sign of summer in our house is bare feet and sandals by the back door which I happened to catch today so maybe summer is really almost here!
