songspinnerFinally. I'm home and I don't have to get up early tomorrow morning. I have until the 11th to rest up. (that's when summer school gets set up - four weeks of it this year).
I got a sweet gift from one student and a couple of very adorable notes from some kids in one of my English classes...two that said what they'd learned from me, and one (cheeky boy) that said "you're an okay teacher - not awesome, but pretty ok". Heh. From a fairly typical thirteen year old boy, I figure that's as much praise as I'm gonna get on that front.
I sang the national anthem as part of a trio of teachers at the eighth grade graduation ceremony, so that was interesting and sort of fun. The principal was joking after that he should hire us out for other schools' ceremonies to make some cash for the school...
Daughter was in a play about kelp forests, and the whole mess of fourth graders was, of course, really cute. She was a scuba diver and then she did some puppet work. I cracked up when I realized she'd raided her collection of stuffed animals for props. :) My parents and sister arrive tomorrow, and I'm sure they'll want to see the video of the play.
