I didn't... but if i would have had any of my 5th graders write an acrostic poem about summer, I would imagine it would turn out like that. It's the time we all wait for, students, young and old, and teachers especially. The year starts, it cycles through the autumn, into the winter, Christmas break, the winter drags on and on and on, then spring comes and you're on the home stretch. And then.... it's summer. Freedom.
I will be the first teacher to express my gratitude (ESPECIALLY) after this year, that the school year is the way it is. Praise God for a break. A time to recharge my batteries and reflect on what was an incredibly challenging year. I'm already excited for next year and the possibilities it holds... but I'm glad it's still 2.5 months away.
I will say as well that I wish EVERYONE could have a summer vacation. I say this because I know most of you are reading it while rolling your eyes because you have a REAL, grown up job and have to go all of the time. We need people like you! And while I'm enjoying summer... maybe I'll come meet you for lunch! :)
