Yesterday was my final day at PCS. I turned in my keys and walked out of the building with tears in my eyes. I more or less kept it together until I hugged a student goodbye (whose mother works at the school). The little girl started crying when I started to hug her and that caused me to cry as well. There are so many things I am going to miss about that school. I could go as far as to say that I will miss everything about that school minus the daily stress I felt day in and day out. However that school is on a mission and I know they are moving in a positive direction. I wish only the best for the people and students at PCS and am already looking forward to visiting in the fall.
Tomorrow officially begins my new journey at FA. B and I are going to move all of our stuff into our new classrooms. We might even get some things set up! It is hard to believe that this next chapter of my life is already starting! Before my first official day (July 11) I am hoping to really reflect on what I learned over the past year in order to grow and be as successful as possible in this next venture :)

First Year of Teaching... Check!
Nah Nah Nah Nah Nah
Nah Nah Nah Nah
Hey Hey Hey
Good Bye!
This was the song I was cheerily singing with a few teachers in the hallway this afternoon as we waved goodbye to our children for the summer!
Today was my last day of my first year of teaching. I know I haven't blogged in here since January, but I thought noting that today was my last day was worthwhile. Today was a really easy day. The kids came in, went to specials, and then we went outside for early recess. When we came in from recess number 1 we popped in a movie. Then we had a pizza party for lunch. After lunch we went back outside for recess number 2. After recess number 2 we had movie number 2!
I had some drama with a child and an ongoing custody battle (breaks my heart) and then it was about 2:30. I took my kids back to my room and we worked on 2nd grade memory books while eating cupcakes and chips.
As soon as the clock struck 4:00 we were out the door and a few of us headed to Natty Green's for a celebratory drink. I can hardly believe the end is really here! I have a lot I want to say, and a lot of emotions to work through, but at this moment it is 11:00 and I need to head to bed in order to be up and at our teacher workday in the morning.
Here's to the ups, the downs, the smiles, the tears, the good, and the bad of my first year of teaching. Thank You God that the first year of teaching only happens once :)
