14 days

I kinda have a feeling that most of my posts for the next few weeks may be about my students. I am getting ready to end the school year and am kinda sad about ending this year. It has not been my easiest year but it has been filled with some great memories and fantastic, inquisitive children. I decided to do a "countdown to summer" chart in my classroom. I know that I said that I wouldn't but there is a great amount of excitement about the end of the year festivities. Today when I ripped off the 15 to reveal the 14, many children cheered and did a little "happy dance". I noticed that one of my girls was not cheering and dancing. She was looking a little sad. When I asked her what was wrong, she said, "Mrs. Faas, I think that I just want to savor the last 14 days of school." that's right......savor.

Me too Emily. Me too.
