End of School Whirlwind!

Well, well, well...Hello everyone!   It seems that with the whirlwind of the last half of the school year, I've disappeared entirely from the blogging world!  The school year sure flies by after Spring break, doesn't it??

What has the end of the year looked like for your classroom?  How have you dealt with the rush of special programs, school assemblies, field trips, and trying to keep some sort of order in the class?  Some sort of consistency  Is it even possible????

Between the transformation of students from quiet, and well-behaved, to wild zoo animals that can barely contain the summertime excitement...it's a miracle to be able to get through 1 lesson!  I've discovered that sometimes it takes shorter, shorter, shorter lessons, with higher success levels and high expectations, but less time consuming activities.  it quickly becomes a juggling act of balance, entertainment, and engagement.  What are some of your activities?  Some of your solutions?  Come one, come all...share your stories!!
