. School's Out For Summer!

It was a bittersweet goodbye today- my class this past year has been the sweetest and best class any teacher could ask for! They were truely the class every teacher says "This is why I became a teacher!". They were sad to leave until they met their uber cool 5th grade teachers and all of a sudden they became the oldest and coolest kids of the school =) I also met my new class for next year and they seemed very sweet. There is always one though =) I can hear the song, "schools, out for summer!".

update on my niece's birthday present...

the date gets closer, but I still haven't started anything. i may have to just buy something this year. c'est la vie!

Almost Nearly Done!

The research papers are done, the kids actually got into it after me talking it up so much, and they are done with their part- now I need to do mine and grade them. ha! all us teachers are in the same boat. we think that by carrying them back and forth in our school bags each day to and from school and work they will get graded themselves...still hasn't happened yet. Guess what I'll be doing on my personal days off this week! ahh, at least report cards are done. I get to meet my new class next week, but I am going to miss this class so much. They are every teacher's dream!!! They were a wonderful bunch!
