Well today is the first official day of summer break! I'm sure it will fly by!!!!! The Promotion Ceremony was wonderful yesterday and the kids all did a great job with the songs! I couldn't look at them as they sang, "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" because I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes! I am so proud of them and loved having my own little self-contained classroom! The kids were AMAZING!!!!!! Next year I think we are going back to being departmentalized so I will have my homeroom for Reading and then be the Math Teacher for ALL of the 5th-graders again. I like that too because I get to know them all, but there's nothing like having one class all day and teaching EVERYTHING to them......we were like one happy little family! Anyhow, the students asked me to post some pictures from the last day so here goes....along with some others from the past week or so. ENJOY! Have a great summer!!!!!!!!!!!
