Today was my last day of school (ie. last 2 1/2 hours). The kiddies were bursting at the seams with excitement... almost as much as I was :) My partner in crime, Cathy and I, spent the entire afternoon packing boxes, cleaning, sorting, piling, moving furniture all for the cause of checking out for the summer.
Last Friday, we were fortunate enough to find out that we are moving classrooms! Now, I am still teaching kindergarten next year, but one of our fellow K teachers is retiring after this year and her classroom just happens to be almost double the size of mine. SO, we are moooooving on up! It was amazing to hear the words "you have seniority and therefore get the bigger classroom next year".
Woo hoo! Although, it did mean a little extra work for Cathy and I to prep for the summer. But, we kept reminding ourselves it would ALL be worth it in the end! We are so excited to be moving into a new classroom with a fresh start next fall!
I had a wonderful class this year. Truly loved my students. They were wonderful to teach and it's years like these that make me feel lucky and loved (because some years, you just pray for survival in the world of teaching!) But this year was awesome! I am definitely going to miss these kids a lot, and I can only hope I have as great a class next year.... but at least I'll have a little extra room to teach in next fall :)
Cheers to the kick-off of summer!
