Things I hate about May

May is not my favorite month. Yes, the countdown for the end of school starts but so does the countdown for many other things as well.
At School
1. Dibles testing on all of the children.
2. MMSR's (Maryland Model of School Readiness, we get money. Do I ever see any of it???) on all of the children (online, by hand, and on a spreadsheet)
3. Classroom supply order for next year when you aren't even sure if you'll be teaching the same grade. I get a big whopping $250 for the entire year.
4. Grades.
5. Comments on said grades all to be positive and feel goodish.
6. PTD (Primary Talent Development) folders for each child.
7. Fill out cumulative folders on each child.
8. Stay after school M, T, and Friday for the next two weeks until I am done.
9. This is only May, still have to take down my room and clean it in June. Yuck!

For Masters
1. Start next class on Wed. This is the one that will be every night for three weeks in June.
2. Write 12-15 pages on my research paper.
3. research some more
4. read tons
5. Stay after school and work weekends on it all until I am done.

DID I FORGET ANYTHING??????

We will all be happy if I retain my sanity and my hair and my jolly good attitude.

You a busy little girl. I wish you luck with your masters and some kind of fun you can mix in this summer.

I'm sure all of us will be glad when the masters is done. Look on the bright side, you have a family that is behind you and is rooting you on. They love you very, very much.

Ahh the joys of teaching. But remember, we only work from 8 until 3 and we get all summer off too. I keep hearing that - wouldn't it be nice if it were true. Hang in there Trudy, we will make it!
