Today was, believe it or not, the FINAL DAY of CLASSES! I am sitting here in bed this very moment, trying to make sense of a year that went by SO FAST! I mean, really? It's June?! Already?!
Okay then.
For the past week we've spent time preparing for our science exam on June 10th. Today was a day allotted to reviewing our astronomy unit and after getting through the un-fun parts of the curriculum, we had some FINAL DAY FUN! Using Oreo cookies, my students were asked to create the eight phases of the moon (pictured above). EXCITING, YES?! YES. The grande finale mustn't be forgotten either - a dance to our favourite science rap "Mr. Lee's Phases of the Moon".
You'd be proud to hear that out of a day with four formal goodbyes, I only cried twice....officially. There was potential for a full-blown sob fest, but the rapping really refocused my heart and my mind ;)
Now all that's left to happen is 83 students ROCKING their final exam......then my first year as a middle school teacher will be complete!
Okee dokee. The pillow calls.
Good night, Moon!
P.S. Something gross that I need to tell you: I found a medium-to-large sized black hair BAKED INTO my sub tonight. I know I've mentioned my post-India gag reflex before and its existence remains with me to this day. The sandwich was tossed and as of 5:30 tonight, I vow to "never eat a sub again". Phil says I'm being silly.
