The end is coming to FAST!

May 22
Thursday

Today was a really good day. I printed off the majority of my tests and gave them to Sopheck, and all of my kids did quite well on tests. We only had three day of school this week and I was pressed for time for tests and quizzes, but my kids did well. Although this whole week I felt overwhelmed with finishing the final tests, midterms, and no lesson plans. I’m a little frustrated with Kim right now because she has not made lesson plans for almost a month. It bothers me because she is supposed to make lesson plans for both of us, and without them I feel disorganized. Most of you know that when I’m disorganized things go wrong and I get behind. Truth be told we are behind in our English magic time book because she didn’t take the time to calculate out the timing. I have been rushing through our English book to get it all done. I know my kids can do it, but I had to do this last time with my Off We Go books and now I’m having troubles with my kids remembering the last six letters of the alphabet. Remember when Sharon wanted Kim to start making lesson plans for both of our classes and I had to either speed up or slow way down. Anyway, I am having problems again, but you know what I should do is just stop and think. I can do it myself. If Kim gives me lesson plans then I will use them, but if she doesn’t then I will have my own and if Sharon asks me why I’m teaching different things from Kim I will just tell her why. I have not talked to Kim about it, but every Monday I go to her room and ask for the lesson plans and every time I leave empty handed I make it clear that I’m not happy. I should not do this, but rather talk to her and say that when she doesn’t make them if causes problems for me.

If I have learned anything from my past experiences, it’s that when there is a problem I need to tell it out. Keeping it inside does nothing, but cause bigger problems. The end of the year is approaching fast and I’m not sure how to feel. I know that when the day comes to leave I will be very sad. I was talking to Dream last night about leaving and I said that I might come back in June again to see them, Ben, Kim and the baby. But, that is just an idea. I would love to, but theoretically I probably won’t happen. We will see. Tomorrow I’m going to hang out with Boramey. My flip flops I bought while in Thailand with Katrina have developed a hole. I would just buy another pair, but I’m big foot and they only make size 40 and I’m a size 42. Boramey is going to take me to a place she thinks will work. I am also going to try and finish my tests. Pray that I get them done because the end is coming soon and I want to get organized. I want to make lesson plans for the rest of the year so that I can make sure my kids know all the information on the tests. Pray that they can remember all of them and that all the teachers at CAS can finish strong.
