So I don't have too much to report on but I felt it was time to post again. Since my birthday weekend, things have been doing well, just relaxing mostly and taking a day at a time. The kids are feeling ready for summer and so am I so we just try to get through each day :) We have a full week this week and then a long weekend because there is a conference in town so they have to close the school Monday and Tuesday. Then we come back to finish up on Wednesday and Thursday. Kind of pointless but what can you do?
I have to have a formal evaluation this year so the principal came in to observe me again Wednesday of this last week and it went really, really well. She came during math time so we were reviewing and then the kids started on a math hunt where they had to go around the room and find different numbered problems to solve. She stayed for about 30 min but it was great. I'm not sure when I will hear from her about her thoughts but probably this week sometime. Earlier this week, she also came up to me and said "Marissa, you are making my life very difficult." I thought to myself, "Ummmm, I'm sorry?" She said, "I don't usually tell teachers this but I have had SOOO many parent requests for their students to be in your class, that I don't know what to do with all of them." I'm not sure how these parents know who I am but even though I think I'm doing horribly, I must be doing SOMETHING right hahaha.
Outside of school, life is good. Went to the beach for the day yesterday with some friends which was nice. Today just hanging around and making sure I'm all caught up on grading and ready for the week. I have to submit and finalize my grades on Thursday so I'm trying to stay on top of things. I was still tutoring this last week but am done now because there isn't really anything more to study for. Both of the girls have come such a long way though and I am so proud of them. I am getting beyond excited to come home. I will be in the states in 18 days, that will fly by! This has been such an amazing year and I can't believe it's already over, where does time go?
My plans until I come home are to get through this week, enjoy the long weekend next weekend by going to an all inclusive resort for a night or two with a big group of friends....maybe something that last weekend before I leave but really just visiting with people and hanging around. The work load is definitely going to slow down which is wonderful. I won't have much planning or grading to do. Really, after this Thursday I don't have anything to do because grades will all be submitted and we will just be doing little fun, end of the year things. Hope all is well at home. Love and miss you all and SEE you so soon!
