Four Days Off

My classroom is cleaned out, all the good-byes said to a wonderful group of fifth graders. And today we set up for summer school. I am the coordinator for one of two sites for elementary summer school. It’s a wonderful program in its sixth year now that provides academic support to a group of students who struggle in reading, writing, and math. This year there was almost no break between the end of the “real” year and the beginning of summer school. But now I have four days off and I hope I can forget about all of it for the long weekend.
