Vacation

My perception of the day or two before vacation was that you just try to survive the energy and excitement of the students. Now, having lived through those two days before vacation, I know that is mostly true. Art was sprinkled into the lessons pretty heavily as well as activity-based lessons. But today, with all of the energy, I was able to actually get about 40 minutes of decent math instruction and assessment completed in the middle of the day. Wow! The more I think about it, I pretty proud to have accomplished that.

Now it's vacation time and I need it. I've had too many "up past midnight" nights combined with 6am mornings. Vacation will be nice break.
