The third week of May is approaching.  For school that means spring testing is done, spring conferences are coming, children are restless, and teachers are restless.  We see the end, but it isn’t quite here.  It’s not that we don’t enjoy learning and teaching.  It’s purely that we are tired.  We need a rest.  We need to rest our bodies and our minds.  We need that warm summer sunshine, not this rainy spring.
