Hooray for May!

While the weather seems to keep going back and forth, the calendar doesn't. We are rolling right through May and the end of the school year is upon us. The building calendars are full of all kinds of end-of-the year events and everyone is getting excited for summer. For me, the hardest part was trying to "close up shop." I wanted to make sure I had everything as nice and tidy as possible so that when I returned to things at the end of summer, I didn't feel like I had to do a bunch of organizational work to begin getting ready for the year.

And although I am a strong advocate for educator self-care, rest and being surrounded by the people and things that bring you joy, I also like looking and planning for the future while there is ample time to try out and learn new things (usually on a porch in a relaxed position with a beverage and absolutely no bells to tell me I'm out of time).

So for the end of the year, I offer these suggestions for closing up shop and at the end I might have a fan tech gadget or two to enhance your summer fun.
