Its Spring and the Students are Counting the Days

It goes much slower if you count the days.

I admonish my students and they ignore it.

Our last school day is less than a month away. All that means to a teacher is that so much has to be done before the year is put away.

I have been testing up a storm. Now I need to write reports like a storm to get them into the IEP paperwork before the end of the school year.

Overall there have been some decent gains this year in the kidderos. Its hard to really gauge. The testing is so discrete in its focus its difficult to hang your whole success on any test. The students seem to be communicating better.

Sue is starts the countdown for the colonoscopy today.. no food just clear weird colored jello. We celebrated the last day of food until Friday pm with a Mexican dinner out. Viva la Cinco de Mayo.

I am getting help writing this today by Georgie who has pushed all the papers on the floor beside my keyboard so that he can clean himself as I type. I have to correct a couple of keyboard strokes that he makes occasionally.

oh well
