Last Days of the craziest year:)

 The 8th graders had their last day before the rest of the middle school. That's how it is when you are the top dogs;) I am blown away by the changes in this beautiful girl during this past year.

My little Abi from last year, came to see me on her last day of elementary. I just love this girl and will miss seeing her in the hallways.

 I was given all sorts of appreciation gifts, including a paper pet that I adopted.

Calista

This is one of those kids that is a teachers dream! 

So much about her reminds me of my Kars at that age.

Kendall

Oh my ... this kid stole my heart. He is bright and sensitive and is definitely the sharpest dresser. He brought me the cutest little birdhouse and diffuser set, and he cried big tears when he said goodbye.

 I will never forget him. 

Charles/Charlie

So many students I wish I could keep. These three were my EL students and were so patient with me, and helped me with my Spanish.  

Kamila, Genesis and Diana

We ended our half day with ice-cream sundaes and a video I put together of our year. Lots of tears.

I am so thankful to have gone through this crazy year with this group. 

I really had the BEST CLASS EVER!

I will miss them all terribly, but I am looking forward to (trying) not thinking about school and focusing on my favorite little tribe for a couple of months.
