Tie Dye and Summer!!!

I have to admit....I'm a little jealous of all the blogs that keep saying IM DONE!!!! Yes, I'm almost done.....but almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades (says my hubby). 7 more days and then I can brag!!!

So last week, one of my students came to school with these pretty awesome tie dye shoes! I asked her where they were from and she said she made them!! I was sold.....I had to have those shoes!! Went to Wal-Mart and ought me some white shoes and dye and "BAM"......I have tie dye shoes!!!!

I'm the yellow....and my tie dye student is the pink (I figured I would specify since there isn't much difference between the shoe sizes!!)! Aren't they awesome??!!!

So yea...7 days until summer break!! Can't wait!!!

The light at the end of the tunnel....

I can see it!!! Can you?? There are 11 days (10 days and a wake up as a fellow coworker says) left in school!! Oh hallelujah!!! I feel like I can breathe a little easier knowing its almost here!!

EOG's are finished!! My kiddos did well in terms of behavior and hard work! Their scratch paper was covered from the math test! That's always a good thing to see. Unfortunately, with a new test this year, we won't find out their scores until October.....REALLY??? At that point we will be well on our way to getting new kids ready for the EOG. But whatever.....anywho....

The next 2 weeks are going to be full of crazy kids! They are done, we are done, and there's not much more to get either of us motivated! Say a prayer for us!

So, there is this Linky out now about a summer bucket lost, so why not? Her goes my list....

My Summer Bucket List

1. Plan...

My plan for this summer is to get all planned out for next year. This year was hectic in terms of what is being taught, when, and how it should be taught. We started Daily 5 this year, which was new for me. It took a long time for me to get a good feel for it, which I'm still not 100% how I feel about it in third grade. That and Investigations in math...it has been a rather "new" year in terms of our curriculum. So now that I'm used to it, it's time to get paced for next year.

2. Paint my patio furniture.

Our patio furniture is old. It's my mother-in-laws aunts table. It is brown, but doesn't match well with our screened in porch. I've been working on painting it for...oh....a year now! I think I started last summer....and it's till unfinished. One chair is done, three and a table to go!!

3. Go for a walk at least three times a week.

I want to stay healthy and not get lazy over the summer. I have a treadmill, so rainy or freakishly hot days are no excuse!!

4. Catch up....on sleep!!!

Self explanatory!!!
