School's out and no one is happier than me. It just wasn't a good teaching year for me. Don't get me wrong - my students learned a lot, enjoyed my class and were great kids, but my heart wasn't in it. I was given the opportunity to interview in another district on June 1st, but it was the first round. I was told that over 100 people applied for the position, so I didn't really think i would get it. Would have been nice, but that's ok. I'll be working with someone new next year and that should change things up some.
So - summer vacation is upon us and we've got plenty of things to do. This week I took the kids to the zoo on Monday and then later that evening we went to the pool. I had CPR class on Tuesday, but Wednesday we played at home. The girls made a necklace for their craft and worked on some "worksheets". Shelby did some writing, math and money counting, while Sydney started on her alphabet book. We work on recognizeing the letters and sounds that they make and color activity pages to go with them. Shelby knew all of her letters and sounds when she entered kindergarten and I hope Sydney will too. We've got two summers to get them all down.
Thursday was the first summer dance class for both girls. It rained most of the morning, so we played at home until time for that. Sebastian took a 3 hour nap on Wednesday and Thursday. On Friday I went to a post-natal yoga class that's a baby and me class and really enjoyed that. It's only a 4 week class and then I think i might join the yoga class at the activity center for July.
Friday was our 10 year anniversary and we went out to dinner and a movie without the kids.
Now it's Saturday and I've got some cleaning to do before I can play again, but it's nice to be able to do it at my own pace. :)
Here's a latest picture of Sebastian. He's such a happy guy!
