Summer Plans

Happy Summer for those already on break!  Our students got out of school May 24.  Teachers had to return the following Tuesday and Wednesday and then we were done.  However, Thursday and Friday I decided to take a class that the BOE had offered.  So this week started my summer break! :)  I had big plans for this summer, too.  In fact, this is my first summer that I have NOT worked!  I enjoy working at summer camp, but I wanted to take some time for me. 

Well, those big plans have not happened yet!  Instead I've been lazy for my first week!  Is that a bad thing?  I'm not sure!

I know that I'm not the only teacher who has created a summer to do list, so that is the reason for this post.  What big items do you have on your list?  Below you can see mine...
