It's the final countdown...

I hope that song is playing in your head now.

For me, it is the final countdown!  This is the last week of school.  I've been finishing up my end of the year paperwork, going through stacks deciding what to keep and what to toss, taking down posters and packing up my room (to move...again).

Two of my three classes are already over, and I'm down to just one class this last week.  Even within that class, the majority of the kids will have somewhere else to be instead of my class. Today and tomorrow, I'll have 3 kids in my room for an hour.  That's it.  Thursday I'll have no one and Friday the kids are off.

I've had less paperwork and tasks to finish this time around, and more time to do it in, which pretty much means I'm finished.  Still a few things to wrap up here and there, but nothing that will take very long.  Today, I decided to visit another teacher and ask her what I could do to help her out.  She gave me a job, and when I'm done, I'll get to visit someone else.

And I like that.  Instead of bumbling around in my room, making up something to do, I'm going to help someone else.  Someone else who is probably frantic with all that's required at the end of the year.  I know. I was there last year, and it would have been great to have someone come around and say, "I'm free, what can I do for you?"

Who can you offer help to this week?
