We are now in the final countdown to the end of school. For those of you not in education, this countdown begins when we return from Spring Break, because there are no more breaks before the end.
As I entered the doors this past Monday, my mind was already swirling around ways to take a few more personal days to make time fly, and unfortunately, mine will be used to study for my COMPS which take place Monday night. (Think 4 fun-filled hours of stressful essay writing).
I try to jump start myself, not to mention the kids, into excitement over reading Romeo and Juliet. I'm not sure I was successful. I will say that I get a good chuckle out of the mispronunciation of words as the kids struggle with Shakespeare, but hey, you can only listen to them turn "bosom" into "boss-um" so many times until you have to laugh from sheer craziness!
It seems that with the downhill slide to summer, the kids get the "crazies". All sense that may have been accumulated over the year leaks out of their ears and they make some dumb decisions. Needless to say, controlling the kids and keeping their interest in education becomes more difficult on a daily basis.
So, I'll have to beg to differ with good 'ol Willy, and say that I've heard (and seen) many stories "filled with more woe than that of Juliet and her Romeo". Most of these have taken place in and around my classroom.
As for craft time, lately it has been spent making aprons. I found the most adorable fabric and it could only make sense as an apron. I'll post pictures soon.
