Last Day in the Third Grade

Time certainly flies, and I can't say that enough. I remember my first day entering the third grade and it was on February 1st, so I haven't been in this classroom for too long or anything, but I did spend a lot of time with these children. I was there Monday-Friday from 915:11:45 and then 12-2:30 for the last four weeks. I taught lessons, worked one on one with them, hung out with them during recess, went to the cafeteria with them, observed, etc.. My last day was great. They made me cards, got me the cutest purse ever- that I will definitely post a picture of, and we had a little goodbye party. I got to watch their awesome animoto videos, we had an extra recess at the end of the day, I brought in some snacks, and it was just a great last day. It was also one of those last days where you wish it wasn't ending and you could just finish the rest of the year with them. But, that won't happen, and as a future teacher saying goodbye is something I will have to get used to.

On another note, I found out where I am placed to student teach in Fall 2010 and am SO excited! I will be working with first graders which I have never done before!! Then I will be done and can have my own classroom... it feels so good to be so close.
