A hotchpotch this week as time is running away from me atm. But it gets better from next week. Read on for details....
1
I finished teaching in school for the summer. Even though school officially ends on June 31st, I am paid by a charity foundation that gives extra teaching hours to schools that take on difficult or innovative projects and they only pay according to university dates. So I'm free from next week. Less money of course, but it costs nothing to read a book and take a nap in the afternoon right?
2
My 5th grade girls made a goodbye party for us. They remembered that I once told them I was trying not to eat processed sugar so they made a fruit salad instead of a cake. (More about this next week.)
3
I bought a headboard for my bed. It was the cheapest one going, Basically it's just a wide plank of wood screwed onto the bedframe. But it make all the difference between having a teenage or student bed (albeit a double) and having a grown up bed.
4
DD made a water cooler (without the cooler part) in her Young Scientist Club. She took the photos herself. It might not be a cooler but it's very cool.
5
We are going to stay with our friends on their kibbutz for the festival of Pentecost (Shavuot - Weeks) which is a long weekend this year as it falls the day after Shabbat.
Linking up with R2BC over at Lakes Single Mum. Have a great weekend everyone. Chag Shavuot Sameah and Ramadan Kareem to those that do.

enjoy the break we have 6 weeks until summer holidays! Your students were very thoughtful and your daughter very clever. Enjoy that rest
ReplyDeleteThanks Becky, I will enjoy the rest but I'll also miss those 5th grade girls. They really are something special.
DeleteEnjoy the break, love how thoughtful your students were #R2BC

ReplyDeleteThanks and yes, I was very touched by their thoughtfulness.
DeleteThat is indeed one very cool water cooler! I look forward to hearing more about your sugar-free eating. I'm on a major post-holiday detox! less sugar and processed food is definitely a priority. Enjoy your break away and your summer holidays :) xx
ReplyDeleteI've fallen off the wagon a bit in the last few days but getting back to it now. It really makes a difference to how I feel and look.
DeleteHow nice to be finished for the summer, I am winding up my work too and will be in the same situation. I need to take inspiration from you though as reading and napping sounds fabulous. Mich x
ReplyDeleteI hope I get some reading dome as I'm still working but online and mostly from home. I'm not sure the napping will happen though.
DeleteThat water cooler looks wonderful! Have a great summer x
ReplyDeleteI know, it's really clever isn't it? Thank you.
