Last Week of School!

In between Nicole's & Courtney's weddings, I had my last week of teaching.  I missed Monday because we were driving back from CA, but I was there Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, and that was enough ;).  The kids were so beyond checked-out, and so was I.  The last 3 days were pretty much just having fun, and trying to keep them occupied.  I like to give my students a little gift for them to remember that year by, so this year I took pictures of my class, and then wrote each of my students an individual letter & attached the picture I took.  I hope it's something they'll hold onto, rather than just throwing it away when they got home.  

Movie party on the last day!  

For those of you who didn't know, I taught 5th grade this year, at a school very different than the one I taught at in Utah.  It has been a really good learning and growing experience for me, and I am going to be at the same school for next year.  I was given the opportunity to move up to 6th grade for next year, and I decided a few days before school ended that I would take the offer.  I'm happy that I'll have about 20 of my 30 kids from this past year.  I've never "looped" before, but I'm excited to try it out!
