I'm not even two full weeks into summer yet, and I'm already having a blast. I have been coaching swimming, reading a ton, and even got new glasses! Fancy things, they are, with their amazing clearness of vision! :)
People always talk about how teachers have it so good because we get three whole months off during the summer. Well, sorry to let you know, but it's not three months. In fact, it will be roughly two, since we're officially due back at school for meetings in the first week of August. That is, if you aren't doing the extra summer conferences my district offers. Or helping to train new teachers... which I am.
So I'll be back in the third full week of July for one conference and the last week for training purposes! Oh, and I'm taking a grad class right now (that ends in two weeks) and starting two more in mid-July. I'll also be attending the ILA conference in St. Louis in July. Did I mention I'm also coaching swimming from 7-10 every morning?
So, yes, I am "off" from school, but I'm not really "off" completely. It's not all a vacation, but I think I'd be really bored if it were! It is good to be away from the stress and hectic-ness of every day school. Summer is definitely slower paced, which is great because it gives me time to relax and recharge, and plenty of time to plan for next year's kiddos! I can't wait to meet them, but I can wait until August! :)
