Happy Last Day of School

This shirt might sum it all up...

And it was a pretty happy last day of school. Our PE teacher so nicely plans Fun Day with a bunch of outdoor activities that we rotate through. {Usually there's a bunch of whiners. Go away, you whiners! I want a Fun Day, too!} But this year the whining was minimal - maybe because the temp never got all that high - I think it was in the upper 80s. And when they were soooo hot that they couldn't stand it another minute - I told them to look right over there, the Popsicle station was next. Haha!

This really has been my best class ever - well, in my 5 long years of teaching {LOL} and this week I've been a little sad that time is just rolling on and then they'll be gone. But no crying. Until I got this:

Dear Mrs. Sanders You have been the most best teacher!!! I hope you have a great summer. {Our} experience in second grade with you was wonderful. I hope I see you again.

Because who couldn't be happy being the "most best teacher!" And I still didn't cry. And then I gave hugs to all my little sweeties who put this together. And I still didn't cry. Until I hugged my last sweetie. And she was almost to cry. And I was like, uhun, nope, not going there. So I blinked quick and survived!

I've been so thankful to God for this wonderful, mostly sweet class I've had this year. I know that's not always the case - which makes me appreciate it all that much more. 

I'm so tired {what teacher isn't at this time of the year}, and I'm going to try to take a couple weeks to really rest and refresh. And then I'm going to try to figure out where in the world our math curriculum is going to take me next year.

If you are still going - be strong, the end is near. If you're like me, and done - enjoy! Happy Saturday!!
