A couple of children have left. They are moving on to kindergarten. Others will soon. It's the way of the summer though. The children start to "check out" and only want to talk. Whoever said that they are intrinsically interested in work doesn't watch those ready to be with the older kids and "not there yet." They have turned social at all costs. As a result, classroom management is both easier and harder. You know what these kids can do, and you know what lessons you can throw at them! It is truly amazing how one single child can dramatically impact the playground and the classroom. This year, it was one in each classroom. The teachers can talk to each other outside right now instead of constantly trying to eyeball what chaos one child will be creating.
One of my teachers is out on maternity leave. I miss her deeply, but at least this wasn't a surprise.
Going to remodel the kitchen in a few months. Lot of money, time, construction and chaos for a dishwasher. OK Then.
