It’s finals week! I’m ready for it to be over already.

#1609 – Mission: Impossible
The last few days of the school year are always a challenge. The kids are ready to be done, and start asking things like, “Why are we still doing work? Doesn’t the school year end next week?” To which I reply, “Yes, it does. It ends next week, which means this week we are still in school, and still doing things.”
They do not care for this answer.
#1608 – Make Up Work
It’s the end of the school year, the time when students suddenly show concern for their grades. You’d never know they’d spent the previous four quarters avoiding assignments and complaining about homework and quizzes.
#1602 – Fun Assignments
You try to create an interesting, fun project for the kids to do in the last couple of weeks of the school year, and they have no interest in it. Go figure.
#1402 – Inservice
Inservice week is always a cross between easing back into the school routine and banging your head against the brick wall of meetings.
#1354 – School’s Out
It’s the end of another school year! Hurray!
#1349 – School’s (Nearly) Out
Only half days from Friday through next Thursday. For me, anyway. The Wife’s school has full days next week, and the week after that.
#1328 – Sacks
Might actually be preferable.
#1327 – Notice
Seriously, I moved the notice of when the state testing stuff begins by a foot or so and changed to a different color marker, and the kids all freaked out.
Never mind the fact that I’ve mentioned when the tests are every single class period for the last month.
