There are 10 1/2 school days left. The warm weather arrived this week with temps in the upper 70's. The students are finding it difficult to concentrate on school work! Now is when I need to be creative to challenge them with activities so they are still learning and staying focused.
This year I have 14 students on my caseload. Of those, I work several hours a day with 12 of them. Three of the students have expressed they don't want summer to come. It is not because they love school and everything about it. It is because school is the only structure they have in their lives. They know that the teachers, students, and routine will be at school everyday. The summer is unknown. Will they be at mom's or dad's or someone else's home? Will there be breakfast or lunch for them? It is a tragedy what some of the students live through everyday. So--each day we try to build them up and offer the security we can for each day we see them. And--pray for their safety and security each day.

I SOOOOOOO can't believe this year is almost over already!
Wow, 10 days....I can remember counting down the hours looking up at the old clock in our school! I loved school but I always enjoyed my summer. I'll put your kids on my prayer list this summer.
I hope you have a great time with the kids graduating on Friday night. I'll sew some for you! Hugs, Linda
