Summer is almost here!

I just finished my report cards! Yeah!!! Now it's time to get ready for the next year. Two weeks ago I found out that I will be teaching sixth grade next year. Bummer! Of all the grades, I swore I would never teach sixth grade. Well, I don't have a choice. So now I have to switch classrooms, which means completely clearing out my current classroom and moving everything across campus.

I'm trying to think of positive things to get me excited about next year, but it's not really working. The only things I can think of are Outdoor Education and the 6th Graders vs. Teachers softball game. I'm also looking forward to teaching challenging math for once. Would it be bad if every student had a small deodorant next to their nicely sharpened pencil on the first day of school?

I'm hoping to have everything cleared out by the end of this year so I can enjoy my summer. Redondo Beach and cross-country road trip here I come!
