Just because school is over doesn’t mean we can’t have recess.
–Jonah, age 5
I am NOT having recess at the moment. Quite to the contrary, I am having Make Long Lists and Run Around Gathering, Cleaning, Packing, and Preparing so that we can have something of a recess later this week in Ojai. But it was a nice reminder from The Boy that summer is here, with all its restful possibilities, and I shouldn’t waste it trying to cram in everything I can’t get done during the school year.
As I bump into students I had last year, I keep offering to give them some of the unused worksheets and assignments, but so far none have taken me up on the offer. I wonder why.
That is one wise kid.
Well, don’t forget to at least take a five minute recess for yourself to breath.
Good luck with all the packing and what not. It is indeed a chore. Sigh.
