Saddest Day
Yesterday was my last day with my kids and boy was it heartwrenching. Saying goodbye to my babies was so difficult because I really bonded with them and because we all knew I wasn't going to be there next year to see them like I did with my past groups. For many of these kids, I WAS their mother. I was so touched when one of my boys who has that "i'm a tough guy" attitude shows up with a bouquet of roses and a rather large cake with the words, "Best teacher I Ever Had" written on it. My little quiet girl gave me the coolest gift- a teddy bear with speaker headphones that connects to my ipod because she knew I loved music. These kids knew me better than most people in my life and then I'm forced to say goodbye to them. Oh, it was so difficult.
Saying goodbye to my classroom was also very hard. I stood in my empty classroom and tried to take it all in because I knew that was the last time I'd have my own classroom. It was certainly the ending to this chapter and damn it was hard closing that part of my life.
