End of the Year Exhaustion

My countdown to the end of school is sitting at 5.

My countdown to our big graduation play and program is 2.

You know what that means?

I am officially in the epitome of the End of the Year Exhaustion Zone.

The to do list is ever growing.

I get at a minimum 10 emails a day of things that need to be done by a particular deadline.

And all those deadlines are before post planning.

I no longer have planning time

and I haven’t in weeks.

We use that time do our play practice so all the

Kindergarten team is working without planning and prep time.

I can’t enter report cards accurately with a classroom full of 5 and 6 year old.

Most of these tasks wait until lunch time, after school, or evenings.

I am re-entering in data over and over again in various forms.

I am not sure why…

but I have to keep doing it.

I have to enter assessments to the county’s system, my state system,

then into a form for administration.

I have props to find, costumes to create, and details to attend to.

And I am being honest here…

I don’t even do that much of this compared to my team member.

She is like the play goddess. She is fantastic.

I have play programs to make, edit, proof, print, and fold.

Thank goodness for staff children and

those upper grades students who need busy hands.

They will be folding a few hundred Graduation Programs tomorrow.

I have paper scrapbooks to finish and bind.

Then certificates to add. {I am using Mel D’s this year.}

I create paper scrapbooks to hand out the day of our program.

We ran out of binder rings.

We ordered the wrong size.

We right size should be here on Monday.

{I really hope they get here!}

What do I put in the paper scrapbooks?

Check out this post here.

Than I try my best to make digital scrapbooks and give them out before the last day of school.

Sadly, time didn’t allow me to get to that yet.

{I use my templates here for the Digital Scrapbook because this saves me so much time!

You can also check out my older post here on how to make them.}

I also print out and prep summer packets for my students to work on.

Many of my families don’t have the money to buy these themselves, so I try my best to provide them.

We don’t always have enough paper at the end of the year,

But if we run out, I buy it myself to give this to my families.

{This year I am using Annie’s from The Moffatt Girls.}

Did I mention my own daughter is in K and

therefore I also need to prepare her for the end of her year as well.

Teacher gifts.

Program outfit.

Normal stuff.

But the end is near.

And it will all get done.

Your job…

Survive the

End of the Year
