End of School Year

I had a favorite class many years ago, that class has grown and I haven't seen them in a long time. 

This years class was another favorite:

Amazing kids.

Great learning.

And such an honor to be their teacher.

This was the last day of school. They have continuation and get all dressed up. 

I haven't cried saying goodbye to a class in quite a few years, apparently that streak was broken this year. My class also had quite a few tears. 

My teammates- We had a great fifth grade team this year. Times are a changin' so only two of us will return to fifth grade this next year. Bittersweet. 

Again, this class was full of amazing young people. I believe they will do so much good. I believe that they will come visit, learn more, and (hopefully) make good choices. I adored this group of kids and it will be a long time before they are replaced as an epic group of kids. This is why I teach and why I love what I do.
