School is Almost Over!!
School is almost over. What an exciting time! Why am I sad? My first full year of teaching is coming to a close. All the other teachers are exciting, but I am not. I am going to miss all my kids.
These are the reasons I will miss this year:
- “I want to be just like Mrs. Arnold so I can have a baby.”
- “Wow! Mrs. Arnold you lost a lot of weight.”
- “I Love you Mrs. Arnold.”
- The hugs from every kid as I drop them off at their bus to go home.
- The many drawings and coloring sheets they proudly bring me in the morning.
- The phone calls from parents.
- The lovely notes from parents thanking me for a good job.
- Helping the students learn to subtract.
- Snack time
- The field trips throughout the year (Pumpkin Patch, Christmas caroling on the square, Park Day at Western Pines).
- Treasure box on Friday’s for students who did not get their car moved all week.
- watching my student grow in their learning
- wearing my yellow class T-Shirt
There are so many other reasons, but I won’t bore you to tears. I am going to miss all 16 of my wonderful kids. Call me crazy, but I have become attached.
Had to catch up on some posts…Whitney Gayfield is your sister? Explain it for me please. She is related to Janice Gayfield right? I know they know you I just never knew how. Love the story about you and michael. I am so ready for school to be out and I will NOT miss it.
Whitney is the daughter of Janice. I babysat for them and they started calling me that. I kind of stuck. The Gayfields are my second family.
Oh I bet you will miss them…I completely understand!!!I still think about the children I worked with at Jenkins in Pine Bluff…:(:(
Wow. I wish that I had gotten to do treasure box AND have a car at that age. Kids today are so spoiled…
We had a treasure box of sorts, but I was never good enough to get in it.
OK ..i gotcha.
