Thursday (the day before the official last day)Oh man. Thursday was my cute little friend J's last day. I made sure I gave away all of the awards, special cards, report cards, and cute files that painted all together just in time for J's last day. The awards.....Were a last minute thought I put together to give my students for being such a fun rewarding, yet challenging and successful school year. So I found some on TPT, printed them out in color, assigned them all a very special and personal award, then ran them through a lamination machine, just to spice it up and make it feel more official than DIY. I remember, one of my very vocal kiddos, her award came out a lil crinkly-wrinkly, so I quickly wrote her another one, because I thought I printed one extra...or some.... Anywayyyyys, My little friend J shows up to school all sad, mommy is all worried and wanting to stay in touch. And now it's the end of school... I'm passing out the awards, and call the last one.
So over all, I had to rush and make her a new one. And then to my lucky stars, her mama was late. So we got to play leggos on the carpet area, which I've never allowed any of my students do this year due to COVID19..... which is another story. And playing leggos, was probably my favorite part of this school year. On the official last day of schoolIt was pretty tough. My class room was all cleared up, all the decorations and work taken off the wall. All of my personal items and belongings cleared out, as well as the students things. It was sad knowing that as of now, I'll never teach at that school again. Where I've never tried so hard to make a difference and a change. Where I've been pushed to extremes. It was like a whole hard cover story book slamming shut. We ate a lot of pizza, played a lot of games, watched a movie and hung out. And because our island is 70% vaccinated, I gave all those guys a hug telling them how much I will miss them and how smart I watched them all become and grow. And three parents, have wanted to keep in touch with me. Moving on to the next schoolI am so glad and grateful for everything that has gotten me here. This school year has been the most challenging, yet rewarding year of teaching ever. I've worked my tail off. Longest hours yet. So many different changes, and during a pandemic! But, I am so glad that it's finally over. I am so glad that everything I went through here made me stronger. I am so fortunate enough for the friends I have made. and it's all due to this job that I had here. But now, it's time to feel supported, and wanted. Valued. Appreciated. Respected. Summer KaylaaaaaaaaI think summer is definitely the best time of the year. It's the time where the sun is out the longest, you wake up early feeling well rested, the birds are chirping. When you finally stretch your sleepy arms over your head to pull the curtains back, and it's nothing but choke crystal blue sky. The sun lasts from so early on in the day, and stays warm and glowing right up to your winter time-bed time. Summer Kayla, is a real bad b__a$%& who likes to have a good time, stress free, children free, lesson plan free. This summer, we have plans to Cali, Texas, North Dakota and of course, sweet ol homie Oregon. Blessed, beautiful, bright
