Today (Wednesday) is the last full day for the K-5th graders. If you've been following this blog, you know I've been finished since last Thursday. I filled in a little time today playing Capture the Flag with my wife's 3rd grade class and playing keyboard for the choir while they rehearsed for Saturday's 8th grade graduation. The rest of the day has been fiddling with stuff on the computer. I did have a break for a little while when some girls came in to tell me there was a dead bird on campus. I went to confirm that it was indeed dead and to scare anyone who had touched it into washing their hands.
There are seven faculty workdays stretching until the end of next week to fill and there won't be a choir to practice with or anyone to play Capture the Flag with. Maybe I could organize a faculty Capture the Flag game?
I've already slipped into retirement mode, so I don't think I have been writing the "Big Idea" I've learned during 35 years in education the last few blogs. The idea related to this blog is plan to have something you want to do during the last few teacher workdays of the year. This school feels like the worst for stretching out this end of the year clean-up/sign-out process. Most places I've worked it has been only 2 or 3 days after kids are gone. Anyway ... I have my small solar house to plan, rugby articles on Deep South Union and upcoming world cup to write, and this blog.
