Summer is Here!

Today was the last day of school and summer is finally here! I am excited that school is out but the last day is always bitter sweet. I get really sentimental on the last day of school. We had our fourth grade award ceremony this week and that always gets me. Each teacher takes turns and tells the students how proud they are of them and this year one of my coworkers read the sweetest poem to them and we all got teary eyed. It's always sad for me saying goodbye to my students on the last day because you spend nine months with them and then it's over and you are not sure if you will ever see them again. Some will move away this summer and some I will get to see next year as fifth graders. I was taking my students pictures off a bulletin board I made at the beginning of the year and it is crazy how much they have changed from the beginning of the year to the end. They have not only changed physically but they have learned so much since the beginning of the year. It's fun to see them grow and learn all year and be a part of that. I am so proud of our students this year. We had a great group of kids. I will miss them next year but I know I will have another great group of kids to get to know. 

Until then, I am really looking forward to this summer. I have taught summer school every summer for the past four years and this summer I decided to take a break from it. I already have a list of many things I want to do this summer but most of all I want to spend time with my family and friends and enjoy the break.

  While teachers and students are resting this summer the construction crews will be busy building our new school. Last we heard they are ahead of schedule and we will move in in October of next year. I am so excited about it and I drove by the other day and took a few pictures of the progress...
