Yesterday, I filed all my grades and handed in my grade book and teacher's manual.
Summer has begun.
Of course, as a teacher my summer includes:
A week of training (starting Monday) for teaching our new Advanced Placement Composition class;
Reading or rereading all the books that I'll be teaching in the class;
Designing the class, as it is new to the school and I'm the first person to teach it there;
Redesigning the Sophomore English class based on last year's experience;
Meeting with an art teacher to create the new Digital Design and Publications course we are creating as a joint Art/English class we hope to get approved by the board (in December) and begin teaching in the 2013/14 School year;
Going in to the school to file all the student portfolios and essays that are still siting on my desk (110 of them from the end of the year);
Cleaning out my files to get rid of unneeded materials.
Yep. Summer vacation.
Good thing I love my job!
Pax et bonum

Like I always say, "You teachers are all overpaid, and with three months vacation yet!"
:-)
Do take some time to sit out in the yard though; you need to get burned some to avoid being burned out.
It's a good thing I like to read. And some of the books I have to reread are ones that I've always liked.
The AP workshop I just completed was great, and it will make the process of planning the AP Composition class much easier. The teacher gave us many ideas - and materials we can use.
