the natives are getting restless!

so today . . . was kind of a rough day at school.

i don't know what is going on. my precious, darling dumplings are turning into whiny, aggressive combatants. and i seem incapable of making it stop.

i think we all have a sort of cabin/spring fever. we have been practicing for graduation forever!! not only does it disrupt our routine, but it is a lot of sitting around waiting for our turn to rehearse. and we are still trapped in the gym for recess, because the construction on the new building is back under way. so everyone lives for playtime, but when it comes they just go berserk!

even the teachers are restless. we are out of curriculum. we are finishing up end of the year paperwork. we have taught our classes to sing and "dance" to a cute song for the graduation program. it is time to be done!

but we are not done. we still have a week to go . . .

another. whole. week.
