(that's little erick, reading to the class on the last day)finally on this end of things, looking back over the last 2.25 months and wow! and hooray it's over! i did it AND i didn't murder anyone!!! ha ha.
but the last day was crazy town. this last week was crazy town. it still hasn't sunk in. it really is over. how i will miss those sweet children!
the fact that i will miss them, is really the beautiful and unexpected part of all of this. jacob gave me a present. he was so excited. it was some delicious smelling candles with a glass flower to put them in and he was just so thrilled for me to open it. he even wrote a card, which i saved for later assuming his mom had written it. but no, he did. it said in red crayon, "you are a nice teacher." which totally melted my heart when i looked at it alone.
the second to the last day, and the last day, brice said in front of the class that he would miss me. in his little husky voice, "i'm gonna miss you, miss A."
it all happened so fast. the entire experience happened so fast. i look forward to remembering more as the summer unfolds. i hope i never forget how marvelous it was.
i saved all the pictures and notes they gave me. one of my favorites OF ALL TIME is from jayce. it reads in pencil, "I think you are the best teacher ever. I don't care about how much work we get i just care that you are my teacher."
isn't that awesome?!!! they made me crazy but i still love them and wow, just wow. i get it now.
