End of the Year!

I sit here today in my class and look at my 25 students who, in many ways, were my Guinea pigs as I learned (very quickly!) what works and doesn't work in a classroom.

They were an awesome bunch & I became very attached to them. I will miss them...something I did not foresee when I began teaching last fall.

The bright side is that I am moving to the sixth grade next year and with our rotating subject program (I will teach writing/language arts to all 3 sixth grade classes) I will see most of them again.

I have found my calling and I finally enjoy what I do for my living...now I need to figure out how to survive on the wages paid to educators!

There's always another mountain to climb...
