Summer time!!

So I have now been on summer break for a little more than 3 weeks now. I must confess that I have a lot of mixed emotions about this. On one hand I have been thinking so much about my classroom. I am moving to a new classroom that is in great disarray at the moment as I have moved everything (well almost anything) in it, but since I am waiting for the room to get painted I can't actually put the room together. I want to organize and decorate it so badly!!!! I have been pinning things on Pinterest and downloading new word wall letters etc for a new look for my new room. All this work and I can't actually put anything together yet. It kind of makes me want to scream, but then I remember that the summer is when teachers are not supposed to be in their rooms so that they can be cleaned and painted. 

I will say that even though I want to be in my room I am very happy to have some time to rest, relax and do fun things. My last two summers were filled with things that left little time to enjoy the summer so I am feeling good about enjoying every second that I can this summer. 

Last year at this time I was at the National I teach K conference and I learned so much, so kind of wishing that I was there right now as well. What is nice is that I follow the blogs of several people who are there right now so I am still seeing some of what great learning is going on. Take care and have a great summer!
