Summer Countdown
As a kid, I would start the summer countdown right after Christmas. Marking each day off my calendar with big red sharpie X’s. Once I left school, I didn’t think I’d have that same sensation, counting down till summer. Now, that sharpie is out once again. I can’t WAIT for summer! The smell of chlorine coming off the pool, lazy days of summer (since I won’t be teaching), a big family party at my aunts house, meat grilling on the BBQ... need I say more? Ok, the whole Sacramento Heat thing isn’t so great, but you just make running from your air conditioned house, to your air conditioned car to the pool, or an air conditioned shop an art! You can tell a The last two summers we’ve sent our son to IDTech camp. This summer however we decided to just let him relax with his friends. We’ll swim, see movies, sleep in… did I mention that I can’t wait? Sixteen school days left for my son. Nine days left till I’m finished teaching. Now where’s that big red Sharpie? 6 comments from 5 users

At my old school, once we hit 30 days left, we'd take a roll of toilet paper, write a number on each square and hang it in the teacher's lounge. Each day, one lucky teacher would get to take a square off. So fun to count down the days!

I think it's cute that the teachers are as excited (maybe even more) than the students. Something you just didn't realize as a kid. Ooooo, food on a stick. You're speaking my language now! Really?! Even when I'm not teaching, I still look forward to the slower pace of summer momonthego. There's something just relaxing in the air. Or maybe it's just me! posted by

Oh yeah, better not. Sleeping in is the #1 thing I LOVE about summer. Though I have been known to get up a little early to get some things done away from my son. I'm usually very ready for him to go back to school in the Fall.
