Day 175 #Year 31 It's the Final Countdown!

Five days left in my 31st year of teaching.

Can't believe how fast the year flew by.

I remember my first year of teaching.

It seemed to have lasted forever and a day.

Now, it feels more like a speeding train ride.

It was the last day of school for my boys.

I now have a senior in high school 

and a middle schooler. 

How did that happen?!

5th Grade & Preschool

7th Grade and First Grade

 Third Grade and 9th Grade

Today we had to say goodbye to our friend.

We watched it grow from larva to pupa to adult.

It was hard to let go, 

but it needed to be free.

We watched it fly out the door and soar high

over our buildings.

We watched as a big black crow hovered over our friend.

We didn't see what happened if anything.

We hoped it made it to live another day.

It was a lesson learned.

I know that culmination is not always a big thing,

but when you have parents willing to take the lead, 

well you just go with it.

I remember how much I enjoyed watching Bryce's culmination

from his preschool program years before.

Why not celebrate.

We should celebrate.

We will celebrate our year of learning.

Tomorrow we will.
