Thirteen Things That I will Do Before School Starts AgainSchool is officially out, and I have a little more than two months ahead of me with lots of plans. Here are thirteen things I plan for this summer:(1) I will attend a one-day inservice to learn about how to use the Rigby reading program.(2) I will attend a one-day inservice on The Writing Workshop.(3) I will finish packing up my classroom at the school I’ve taught at the past three years.(4) I will put all my personal things from that classroom into a small storage room.(5) I will finish ordering cabinets for our new house. (6) I will select paint colors for each room in our new house.(7) I will select flooring for each room in the new house - hardword for everything except the upstairs bedrooms and the bathrooms.(8) I will get the house we’re currently in ready to be sold.(9) I WILL get this house sold - my major goal!(10) Towards the end of the summer I will get my teaching stuff out of the small storage room and set up my classroom at my new school.(11) I will work with my son to plan the landscaping for our new house. His landscaping company will do the work and it’ll look wonderful because he’s fantastic with landscaping.(12) We will move into our new house and have a HUGE party celebrating. RT has invited everybody - and I DO mean everybody - we know and everybody who has done any work on the house to a big cookout in July.(13) And the last week of July - when all the moving is behind us - we will go to the beach for a week with both our children, their spouses and our two grandchildren. Can’t wait! By then I will be ready to relax on the beach. YEA!Visit other Thursday Thirteens at the Thursday Thirteen Hub

They won’t just let your stuff straight into the new classroom? Are they painting it or something?

Sounds like you’ve got a lot to do - good luck and happy TT.

I’m a teacher too and am so ready for summer! I totally agree with lots on your list, especially the part about classroom packing. I just finished my first year but have to pack the whole room up because they’re demolishing our old building (circa 1954). Have a wonderfully relaxing summer!

Sounds ambitious! Good luck with the sale and I hope the move goes smoothly — as smooth as a house move can go, anyway

This is the 2nd to-do list I’ve read among the T13′ers so far this evening. Everyone is so ambitious.

Wow, you have a long list to do this summer. I’m going to take it one week, one project at a time. Right now, I need a new back porch really badly. It collapsed on me Memorial Day. Hurt my ego quite a bit.

Sounds like you have a busy summer ahead. I love selecting new paint colors! Well, mostly I love collecting all the color samples, actually having to make a decision is the hard part.

13 Uses of Coca Cola…

Relieve jelly fish sting: All you have to do is pour the Coke over the sting.
Got the trots?? Get a 2ltr bottle of coke, take the top off and let it go flat, and up to room temperature, then drink 1 glass every couple of hours. BINGO… all fi…

I am a teacher turned SAHM and I so remember the end of the school year. REALLY looked forward to it! Enjoy your summer!

Sounds like a plan. And a great idea for a thirteen, though I think I might need the whole month of June devoted to thirteens I need to get done this summer… *sigh* Hey! I already accomplished one! (Getting the city to come–finally!–and repair the leaking water main leading to our meter–only took three weeks, so I feel a REAL sense of accomplishment. *heh* America’s Third World County… )

Good luck with all that!

Sounds like your summer is a full-time job! You’ll need the week in July to rest up for your official full-time job to start over again!
We use the Rigby series. I love all the leveled guided reading books it has with it!

Switching schools is always interesting. I find it interesting that a district is adopting Rigby…our state won’t even look at their stuff anymore and I think it’s sad. Some of the best training I’ve had was through them.
I have to say I am a bit jealous to read about moving into a new house…I so want to do this. I am learning, though, to be satisfied with the house I have.

A busy time. I’d move #9 to #1! Now I have an idea for TT this week.
