School's out for summer...School's out forever!

Here is my class being total goof-balls! They are all so dang cute, and each one has their own unique personality.

These are some of the smiles I got to see every day...I know I was pretty lucky!
The triple trouble, these girls were my favorites! They were always wanting to help, and even though they talked a lot they were darling. The little one in the middle was on american idol!
Well it has been one heck of a journey and I'm actually sad to see it end. I've now been teaching for three years. I know it doesn't sound like a long time but I loved every second of it. This years class was so amazing. They were a dream class, so good, so cute and most importantly so eager to learn. I can honestly say I'm going to miss the opportunity to teach. Even though the pay sucks and your over worked, to see those kids smiles every morning and how excited they always were about school made it more than worth it. I had a mom who knew that I wanted to have the kids make a quilt for Lydia because the kids were always so excited whenever they saw her kick and always asked all sorts of questions about her. So I wanted to have something to give her from them. Since I had her two weeks early I never got the chance, but Jennifer remembered and came in while I was gone to have the students make it for her. I just started bawling when I opened it. It was the perfect gift and the perfect way to finish off the year. I will always have a very special place in my heart for the students I've had the chance to work with. So here's to the end of one chapter in my life, and I look forward to what the next chapter has in store!
