WOW! We made it to the LAST DAY of school! HOORAY!
A day that often comes with such a mix of emotions during a "normal" school year has arrived with all of those annual mixed emotions...and much more. From the excitement and anticipation of summer fun in the sunshine, to happiness of not having to set an alarm or having a little more relaxed schedule, to the sadness of missing what has become our own little family, the last day is typically such a fun celebration of the nine months that have been spent together within the classroom. This year, our end-of-year and last day celebrations look completely different. Instead of ABC countdowns, parties, yearbook signing, special projects, themed days, and endless cleaning, there are parades, socially distant home visits, parties in a bag, and virtual parties/ award ceremonies through google meet. Not only are we celebrating all of the successes and growth that happened within the walls of our classroom this year, but we are also celebrating how well we ALL ~ teachers, students, parents ~ adapted to virtual learning and still made the best of the global pandemic. Our in-person instruction may have abruptly ended in March, but relationships, connections, learning, and growth continued. Fast forward three months through virtual instruction, and now our school year is officially ending.
It was a great year...even through the challenges of teaching during a global pandemic...but I'm so excited for the much needed change of pace, relaxation, and preparation for A NEW ADVENTURE!
HAPPY SUMMER!
Thanks for stopping by! Check back soon to find out all about my NEW ADVENTURE!
