There are 10 more days of school left (Kids get out June 3rd), and there's 24 more days until I get to fly home for the summer. In some ways it doesn't seem like a long time, but sometimes it seems like it's taking foreeeeeever to get here! This past Monday we didn't have school b/c of the national elections. Election day was on Sunday, and the public schools were polling places. We were told that all businesses would be closed Saturday at noon through 6 a.m. Monday-- it ended up that there were some places open Saturday, depending upon the place. It was nice to have the day off-- well any day that we have off is nice! LOL For the last few weeks I've been helping a home school family from my church with some reading tutoring. Normally they come on Mondays and Thursdays to school, but since we didn't have school, they came to my apartment.
This week and last week I've been doing end-of-the-year assessments with my kids. I found a really good Reading Comprehension Inventory book- Flynt-Cooter, that I have really liked using. I really wish I would have had it at the beginning of the year to compare, but it'll be good to have for next year as well. I'm just starting to meet with parent's to show them the testing results, and also to sign SST contracts for next year. I will hopefully get them done next week. There will be some changes in SST next year-- the other Elem SST teacher is going to teach Elem Spanish next year. So there will be a new SST teacher next year. It's really hard to find SST teachers here, so not sure how that will all work.
Next Thursday we have off for a Catholic holiday, and then Friday is Field Day. I get to help with one of the games, so that will be another new experience.
