It is FRIDAY. And the Friday before summer vacation at that. So I’m feeling pretty wonderful this morning.

1) We have no students today as we wrap up some final things and close down our rooms until August. So I’ll be strolling into work around 8:30 today. What a luxury!

2) The last day for the kids was on Wednesday. My eyes are STILL hurting from all the tears. The 4th graders had some time for “Shout-Outs” as they celebrated each other’s accomplishments over the course of the year. I have NEVER met a group of kids that are SO empathetic, so supportive, and so loving toward one another. They teach me so much about how to be a better, more patient person.

 

3) The 4th graders love Heads Up just as much as I do. And they let their 1st grade friends join them – even when they can’t necessarily read the words on the phone. <3

 

4) Some of them are going off to middle school and it has been quite the emotional ride as we’ve had to say goodbye to some of our favorite little humans.

  
 5) Very much looking forward to a month off to reset, refresh, and rejuvenate. So I can come back in August and ride this emotional rollercoaster all over again. 🙂

I’ll be spending most of the summer in Southern California. Let’s be friends!
