Is it really only 14 days until the end of the school year??? That doesn't at all seem possible when I think of how much we still have to do this year! How is it that the end of the school year seems more busy than the rest of the year? We were knee deep last week in animal research reports. What started as a huge, daunting task and what ended as a huge, daunting task turned out wonderfully! My excited bunch of kiddos picked their animal, did research, took notes, made a draft of their report and published it complete with maps, pictures, drawings, captions, a table of contents, and a glossary. Whew! They were all so proud of their work and were totally bummed I wouldn't let them take them home...yet. We can't work that hard and not share with a few friends and other classes first! Plus, I still have to attach a fancy certificate for each of them! :)
It's going to be one crazy week at school with a late start, music concert, and field trip this week. I'm saving my Snickers and Pepsi I got for Mother's Day (from the dog!) for mid-week when I need the caffeine kick!
