Its Friday night, and you know what that means..
It is time to Dare to Share!
Well I made it! The last day of school was on Wed. We had a half day with a sixth grade send off. While that sounds nice, it was almost 100 degrees that day. Now imagine 400 sixth grade students, at least 100-200 parents, multiple teachers and volunteers all in a gymnasium. It would be warm in there on a 90 degree + day without all the people, it was extremely warm with all the people. It was so warm, I am surprised someone did not pass out. I was lucky though, I got to be down on the gym floor with teachers but over to the side where it was a little cooler, and I was not next more than one or two people. Afterwards we were served ice cream sundaes. I was able to say goodbye to many students, and wish them well in seventh grade. I didn't have to say goodbye to the teachers that day, because we had our staff end of the year party on Thursday night. I am so glad that I went. Almost everyone on staff was there. We had tons of food, great company, and a lot of fun. Two of our teachers are retiring, so there were speeches, lots of hugs and a few tears. The party lasted until midnight, because we were having such a nice time that we didnt want the party to end. I got to say a proper goodbye to my amazing coworkers. I am really going to miss my school. We are very lucky to be part of a wonderful family. Tonight I went to the Friday night dance to spend time with some good friends. I plan to see them again in a few weeks, so it's not goodbye, it is see you soon.
Since it is getting late, and I really need to get some sleep since I have another big day tomorrow, I better get this party started.
Link up and HAVE FUN!
I admire you for working in elementary ed! I started college as an elementary ed major and changed after one semester. I teach college now and that's where my talents lie. I really believe elementary ed teachers/aides/assistants are truly gifted! Enjoy your summer! Thanks for hosting this lovely linkup.
