Every year it amazes me how quickly I'm able to adjust to summer time. At the end of the school, it seems like I'm never going to get used to not going to work every day and not seeing my students. But after a couple days, I adjust to summer mode and it almost seems hard to remember getting up early every day and teaching. I've seen a few of my students this summer so far, which has probably been the highlight of the season. I've been keeping busy helping out our Head of School playing secretary and whatever other jobs she needs help with, and one of the camps meets at the school building. Two of my students that were in my class this year go to that camp, and five of my former students are there. It makes my day every time I see them. This past weekend, I took two boys to a Blue Rocks baseball game, and we had a great time. Plus there were good fireworks at the end. One of the boys had never seen fireworks, so it was really neat to get to experience that with him. Othe...
Here are some pictures from the Kindergarten Graduation ceremony this week. The good pictures were taken by James on his nice camera. The not as good ones are from my camera, which I think I had on a weird setting. All in all, it was tons of fun, even with two kids crying most of the way through, which if you think about it was a quarter of my class. The last morning was pretty fun too. I'm still working on packing up my classroom. It's a big job. I'm throwing away a lot because I don't have room to store it, but if I end up with my own classroom again, I'm probably going to wish I still had some of this stuff. I'm not looking forward to handing in my classroom key, because my classroom has been like my second home here in Wilmington, and I'm going to miss it! I liked being able to go there on the weekends and eat my lunch and listen to music while I did my lesson plans. So I think I'll keep my key until someone realizes I need to turn it in!
