Week After Spring Break

I thought once we came back from spring break that the week would go sooooooo slow and the kids would be difficult to engage.   Boy, was I wrong.  My honors students wrote about how bored they were on vacation and couldn't wait to come back to school.  Many of them did not do much at all on vacation.  The standard class also informed me that vacation was boring but they were not super excited to be back either.  I was a little shocked and maybe this is my age showing here but when I had spring break I never wanted to come back to school.  Yes, as a teacher I probably should not be admitting this but its the truth.  It is the same with someone working and taking a vacation.  Most people don't want to go back to work either.  So their response to vacation was different than what I had anticipated.  However, it was a good thing because we easily transitioned into the next unit.
The week also flew by.  I guess this a good thing but on the other hand it also means the end of class and interning.  This makes me happy but I'll miss all the fantastic people I have met so far.
