I can't believe that six months ago I met these awesome students at Franklin Elementary. They were so sweet and so willing to learn from a teacher that would be there until the end of the year. Heaven sent. 

Now, we're in the final days (count em: 2 1/2) of school and moments like our drum line are pulling at my heartstrings and killing me as I watch them get excited for the summer and sad about our departure to Arizona. All of this is killing my excitement to move as well. Six more days until the big move!

We had a carnival yesterday for the students that participated in AR during the year--everyone got to attend but not everyone had the same amount of tickets to use. I went to jail and got "branded" for AZ.

One of my students also decided that I was the fitting character of her end-of-year-story. She told me she wanted to write about me and how "beautiful" I am and how "sweet and nice" I am. I decided to let her focus on my teaching abilities instead of my beauty...seriously, though, how sweet is that?!  

This class has absolutely been the best class I've ever worked with. I will miss them so very much. I came into the class excited for a job and for the opportunity to continue working with students and got much more than I ever anticipated and then some. I'd be crazy if I said I won't cry on Friday, but I might wait until they leave, I mean, I can't have them thinking that I'm gonna miss them or something.
