This is my wonderful kinder class! Today I said goodbye to these kids. I told them that I loved them and that I would miss them, but it was time to go. I have taught them all that I could in Kinder and they are ready for the adventure of 1st grade. We had our End of the Year Celebration today and they sang songs and did a play for their families. We had so many people there that there was no room to move in the class! We also had a potluck and there was soooo much food, but by the time it was time for me to eat, it was all gone! LOL! I was running around like a crazy woman today, but it was all good! I won't be there really for the next two days because my girls are graduating. I will miss them so much! I told them to come and visit me and if they make it big they have to buy me lunch!
Here is a picture of Squiggler. She is in the top picture too because she went on our field trip to McDonalds with us. She loves to talk on the phone and she dropped my phone twice today. It actually still works, but it looks all beat up. Weegie says it looks like a teenager's phone because its all messed up. LOL! Good excuse to get a new phone.
Today when I was going to take Speedy to buy some new shoes for her graduation, we saw this slide on the sidewalk. I literally stopped in the middle of the street and asked if they were giving it away. The man said yes because his kids were too big for it. I thanked him and put it in the back of my truck. I was so excited because I had been wanting to get one of these for Squiggler and had been eyeing Craigslist, but hadn't found one close or cheap enough. Free is pretty good! I actually kind of lost $20 today so this makes up for it. It wasn't even my money and I have a feeling I know what happend to it, but let's just say that I hope that person needed it more.
Squiggler really liked the slide and she loves to be outside. She doens't have a phobia of the grass anymore either.
I also received these flowers today as a thank you gift. I love flowers and always feel so special to get them, but the BEST gift that any teacher can get is a genuine thank you and I those too. One in particular was from a dad that stood up at the end of the ceremony and said in front of the whole class that I was the best teacher that any of his kids had ever had. (He has 4 of them and the oldes is 14) That really meant a lot to me! I love being a teacher! A kindergarten teacher because then usually I am their first step to education and I strive to make it a positive one!!!!!
