I am traveling this weekend. We are in Michigan for our daughter’s college graduation. I have a little extra time this morning and saw a post on another blogger’s page and thought perhaps I could dip my toe in the pool and join the party.
This post is inspired by Brian at bushboys world’s post – last on the Card April. But, I first saw it at my blogger friend, Margaret’s blog, From Pyrenees to Pennines .
Since, I am on the road, I needed to write subplans. Teachers can’t leave without leaving some sort of plan behind.
I stayed late Wednesday afternoon to make sure my kids were learning, challenged, and focused while I was gone. I was the last one out of the parking lot at 6 :15 PM. I’ll be back in the classroom making the last days of the school year count on Monday. Making the Days COUNT, one day at a time, learning every day and making each day count.
How is your May starting out?
I like a good work day last photo Clay. I did laugh at the clean desk comments.
A break away from kids will do you good.
Thanks for joining in
thank you for the inspiration via Margaret! A day or two away will do all of us good. Thank you for reminder to ‘sharpen the saw.’
I love this, Clay! Congratulations on your daughter’s college graduation. Your spirit to be a guide even in your absence is remarkable! Safe travels!
Thank you Wynne. It’s hard to believe we are where we are… off to shoot campus photos with her and her puppies! Maybe she’ll let me share one or two on MtDC! Thank you for stopping in.
Teachers work really hard. Enjoy your time off and congratulations to your daughter on her graduation! May is starting out pretty in our yard, though of course it rained a bit. But May is my favorite month of the year and I always wish it would slow down and last awhile.
Oh, thank you! The hard work is already in… I spent Wednesday walking around my room seeing kids engaged in the challenge of balancing chemical equations – they were all in. I texted a colleague, “Today is one of those days when I feel like I have taught the kiddos something and started a fire.” I remember moving one HOT SUMMER Sunday….https://makingthedayscount.org/2021/09/01/w2-empty-nest/ seems like yesterday! Thank you for stopping in and I saw our first hummingbirds yesterday!
What a lovely tidy desk! The sign of an organised mind! Thanks for the honourable mention.
Don’t let the photo fool you! The desk is only tidy because I rarely sit there. I am the only male in the sixth grade (1 of 12) and I find myself working away from that desk most of my time. I had to clear it off because it is used as storage by my team! you are welcome and YOU inspire me! Truly.
Thanks Clay. A mutual appreciation society is always good!
