    My DDIL cannot wait for the school year to end, she is counting the days. Many years ago teachers got three months off. She tells me she only gets about two. How times have changed. Just want all teachers out there to know that you are special individuals and we appreciate all that you do. Have a great summer!

    I know my kids teachers can't wait.
    I know my kids can't wait either, I just want some nice weather so we can do somethings outside.

    Well - I work at a year - long school. Only the month of July off.
    I'm not counting down the days - yet.

    I have 8 days with kids and 2 teacher days left at the high school. I'm hoping that the university calls me for summer sessions. :)

    I absolutely adore my students. It's some if the "adults" that make teaching a real job.

    Grandkids are in school until June 9th, but the two young ones will only have a month and a half off. They are in a school that goes for 45 days on and 15 days off for the rest of the time.

    I certainly am counting down the days! I teach Kdg. We have 15 to go (thanks to those pesky snow/ice days we are making up). Last student day is all day on Weds. June 8. Then teachers have a half-day workday on the 9th. We do have a field trip to the zoo and track and field day coming up. I have tons of paperwork to do, testing to finish, inventory to take care of, and we (the kdg team) are involved in the selection process for hiring a new kdg teacher to replace one who is retiring. Oh, yeah...and I will be out of the room for RTI tomorrow afternoon. It is a busy time of the year...and to top it off, my DD is getting married on June 18!

    I have 23 days left but 4 are for exams and 2 are after the kids leave.

    I just started my count down because I teach AP Calc and we had our countdown to the AP exam on May 4th. We already have the countdown for next year's AP exam.

    I am so jealous of all the retired people here. I have been teaching since I got out of school in 1977. Dh wants to leave in 2 years and I want 4 years. we shall see what happens but it is coming soon.

    I was thinking about taking a course this summer but I think I have decided against it. I think I need the summer to help dh paint the house and to quilt.

    12 more days with students and 4 more days after that. But who's counting LOL? I'm moving to another grade, so I have some packing to do. I only have one year before I can retire, but have a kid in college so I'll probably stick with it for a few more. Have wonderful summers, teacher friends!
