Schools out


Ok.  So i've been slacking in writing in my blog.  But i've slacked on even more important stuff, so does it really matter.

Today was the last day of school for the year.  I was more excited than my kids.  My daughter is crying that she's going to miss her teachers and her friends, and i'm running down the hall waving my hands shouting "WhooooHooooooo Summer Vacation"  

On my son's report card he found out who his teacher will be next year.  Now, i am extremely involved in our school, besides working there substituting, so i figured that since i had requested a specific teacher for my son that we would get her.  I almost fell to the ground when i saw that not only did he not get the teacher he's been going to for reading since January, but it wasn't any of the 5 teachers i had requested along with her.  I stormed over to the principal to find out w.t.f.  she told me to come back on monday and talk.

His teacher was also surprised that he did not get the teacher we had requested or any of them at all.  She called to apologize to us for not letting us know earlier, but she could not say anything.  Apparently she mentioned it to the principal also after school let out.  A few hours later the student coordinator called the house apologizing.  She had the request i had turned into the office and asked me which of the teachers i wanted.

Phew!!!  He'll be able to stay with the teacher next year, at least until he gets moved up to 2nd grade (just my prediction, not actually happening).

I'm flying out to PR next week for 10 days.  My sister is supposed to be staying down there at one of the resorts and is putting us down as staying in the room with her so that we can hang out at the pools.  The kids would have such a blast since that is where we used to hang out over the summer when we were kids.
