... I'll get to that in a minute but first I'd like to address how I know something is up... When I walked into the classroom today I took inventory as I normally do on Friday mornings... On the chart paper I saw that there was a bunch of adjectives like funny, organized, wonderful... well you get the idea... anyways they were written in Scott's handwriting and at the bottom it said "likes pink..."... Hmm... smiling I thought, oh God, they're planning something. Now I HATE surprises so knowing that Scott and the kids are up to something scares me...
Later today was part one of the hardest part of this job. I had to say good bye to one of my kids. One of my girls is going to Mexico for her sister's quinceanera and won't be at school next week. While I expected to be really sad about this and have potential for crying... It didn't. I didn't cry... not even a little bit. While I know that I will miss these kids and Scott so much, I think I'm just ready... When I hugged this girl at the end of the day I was really realizing that this first chapter of my experience is over.... Knowing that I have to turn this leaf over is definitely hard but I'm so looking forward to things like a 6 minute commute.. and challenging myself with a mixed age classroom... And truly, I know that this is just the beginning of another awesome adventure... or maybe its just a continuation of the adventure...
