We know about you...

"We know about you...we know you are going to go teach somewhere else."
 I had to miss class this week to get my cap and gown and go to a meeting. While I was gone the subject of where I was came up and some classes got the news that I would be leaving. So I have slowly told my students that this is my last week. I can really hardly believe it. I think time has sped up and I just don't like it. I want to stay there forever and ever like Neverland. Which is completely nuts. I know.

This week I heard all kinds of new descriptive words like fancy and lovely being tossed around the room. It makes my heart smile to think the students are so happy about what they are making that its not just good or nice its fancy!

I will say I now know why teachers like Halloween to be on Fridays. The kids were so excitable and loud Friday I really had to work to keep everything together. I was very excited myself because it was my first Halloween off since I began working at 17. Despite the holiday we were able to make some fantastic art! One of the funnest parts of my day was with first grade. At the end of class over the intercom the Munster's theme song played and then our principal talked about Halloween safety so I panicked thinking the kids needed to get lined up. I lined them up and looked at the clock and there was 8 minutes left! 8 minutes is an eternity in first grade so I turned on the monster mash and we did the twist. It was hilarious to have them follow along with me and a good way to shake out some jitters before their fall parties.

Here is to all the love I will share my last week in Placement #1.
