The end of the school year brings many emotions. Some include being sad to see your students leave, and others happy you don’t have to wear “real clothes” at 7am. Those last few days are full of fun activities, keep quiet activities, and “Sure, you can play that computer game until lunch time.” Sometimes you just need a minute to get those last grades in and find that paperwork; without glue sticks hurling through the air like tiny missiles. Here are 10 things you definitely don’t want to hear while sitting at your desk.
1. Kid from across the room: “The Internet isn’t working!”
2. Principal walking in and saying, “Hey, we need to finish that last observation, I’m just going to hang out for a couple minutes and talk to the kids.”
3. Kid walking in 1st thing: “My Mom said I could bring my fidget spinner collection today since it’s the last Monday.”
4. Reading email: “Teachers we need forms A3-Z4 filled out and turned in by noon today. Please include the summary at the end of each page.” (yet you have no idea what those are or where they are)
5. Over the intercom: “Teachers we will need to meet a few minutes after school Friday before you leave.”
6. School Secretary: "This is your new student."
7. School Nutritionist: "It will be Manager’s Choice this week for lunch. Any help de-icing the boxes from the back of the freezer would be a great help."
8. Kid: "I made this for you last night with my Mom. Will you try it now?"
9. Kid: "My Mom wants you to get my things together for the end of the year. We are leaving for a cruise before school ends."
10. Teammate: "I’m taking a few days personal leave next week, you can help the sub keep my kids in line, right?"
