The 2011-2012 school year is officially behind us! Today I finished up finals with my two block classes (it's a presentation for ease of grading), finalized grades, cleared out all extra handouts and unclaimed assignments, and filled out my "End of the Year Checkout List." Tomorrow I return to the building for a few minutes to officially turn in said checklist, return a library book and clean out my classroom fridge. For the first time ever, I'm not teaching summer school and even though I'll be taking care of a newborn, I don't have to think about school for many weeks. Quite refreshing.
I had a great group of students in the U.S. Studies Block class this year. We usually had a grand time and everyone learned a lot along the way. I am still surprised and happy about their reaction (and subsequent interest and pestering) about Baby Foster. I really hope they come back to visit like Krissy (in the first picture below) did all year during her study hall.

Dont' get me wrong. I'm glad to say goodbye for a few months - they were especially feisty this week and did a little dance right up on my last few nerves. But the students in next year's crop have some pretty huge, and pretty hilarious, shoes to fill.
For now, FREEDOM. For a few days, or hours....until Baby Foster takes over.
