Comment by Lynda Kamrath on June 8, 2011 at 12:08pm: Have a wonderful summer everyone. You definitely deserve it after this year.

Comment by Angie, Hudson and Lily on June 7, 2011 at 7:53pm: We start right after Labor Day and only have a long weekend in February. Some districts around here do have a week off in February, but they are only going to the middle or end of next week. In Michigan we usually average about 170 student days, but we count instructional minutes- not days. So we have odd start times/end times, like 8:37 am -3:32 pm. Some districts have more minutes per day and that allows them to get out a little earlier.

Comment by Holly Paterniti on June 7, 2011 at 6:38am: Off for the summer FINALLY!!!! And plus we have the BIG move on Friday!!! I can not wait :) We will be renting for a little while and then we will be buying it when our credit gets better :)

Comment by Ellen, Brûlée, and Tira on June 6, 2011 at 8:20pm: OK. I have to pipe up here and say that I had my last day of students last Friday, June 3rd. It was so wonderful to have some warmer weather and sunshine for a couple of days.( Saturday and Sunday) Today we had to have our a/c repaired, and though it was a chunk of change, it is so-o-o nice to have it working again! We left our back door to our bedroom open last night to let the cool air in overnight. Sweet Brulee spent most of the night on her back trying to cool her tummy! She is happy to have the a/c back up and running!

I had a chance to give Brulee a fairly good grooming, and also got a little work done in the yard. Everything out back is really in a "wild" state...lots of work to be done! It's nice to have some "me time."

Comment by shelly on June 6, 2011 at 8:18pm: UGH! Yes, Angie! I know what you mean about needing more time.. the 'outside world' just doesn't get how much work it is to set up and take down a classroom and get all the paper work done! We have a total of 180 days! We start the Tuesday after Labor Day and the kids start on Wednesday. We also get a week off in February that I think most schools in other states don't get.

Comment by Angie, Hudson and Lily on June 6, 2011 at 7:51pm: 13 more days, Shelly?!? How many days are on your school calendar? Our last day is Friday and I can't wait. On the other hand though, I feel like I need at least 2 more weeks to get it all done. I hope your last few days go well everybody!

Comment by shelly on June 6, 2011 at 12:48pm: Here's something to make you feel better Kyoko... I have THIRTEEN days! We go until the 23rd... UGH! I'm SO jealous of you two! :o)

Comment by Kyoko on June 6, 2011 at 10:57am: Ugghhh! I have one whole week!!!

Comment by Sue & Willy Babe on June 6, 2011 at 4:54am: One and a half days left for me then its summer time for my Wilson and ME !!! WE really need it I hope everyone has a safe summer and hopefully our next school year will be better !
