The Last Week of School

I love and have always loved the last week of school.  My favourite part of the last week of school is that it is almost over. But I also like that we get to celebrate the end.  I would never have thought that you would get to celebrate the last day of school because we go here to learn, not to party.  I am not sure why this happens.  At my old school we always had a little party with food and a water fight.  For this year, it does not matter if we have a party but I would gladly participate if we did.  

It is nice to get a break from learning at school.  We get two months holiday and I think that’s the perfect amount of time.

What do you think about celebrating the last week of school?  Do you think we should do more or less?  What’s your favourite part of the last week of school?

New Principal In September

Many students were surprised and sad when they heard that our current principal was leaving and wanted to know the reason.  For the last three years, Mr. Principal has been running our school and we wish him the best of luck in his new adventure.  He will be be keeping the same role of principal but at a different and more populated school.

A couple of weeks ago, students got a short glimpse of the new principal that will be starting at our school in the fall.  She told the kids that she was very excited to be coming to work in our building and that she was looking forward to getting to know all the students in the fall.

To teachers, getting a new principal is just one of the many things that occurs in this profession.  We go with the flow and learn to adapt to new styles and processes.  I wonder if students feel the same when they see a new principal.  They have been used to how Mr. Principal ran the school and how he dealt with incidents.  How will they react to a new person, especially a woman?  Will that change their behaviour?

What advice could you give to the new principal that would help her make our school run smoothly?
