Kindergarten Graduation Pictures

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!

Am I watching a comedy show?

Another week of school has come and gone, full of strange happenings. For one: one boy in my class often throws up after lunch. I'm not sure if he just eats too fast or what, but it happens about once or twice a week. On Tuesday (I think. The days all kind of blur together in my brain.) my class was especially hyper in the cafeteria, and I moved boy-who-throws-up to a table by himself so he could calm down a little. Well, while he was there, he threw up. Luckily, no one was sitting around him. So I went into the kitchen to get things to clean it up. While I was in there, another boy laughed at him for throwing up. Now, this boy laughs at everything, but unfortunately, boy-who-throws-up is also extremely extremely sensitive and gets angry at the drop of a hat. (Did I mention I hate cleaning up vomit???) So I come out of the kitchen with my bleach and my paper towels, and kid-who-throws-up has kid-who-laughs in a headlock and is punching him in the stomach. I hustle over to them to ...

Last Day of School

Well, today was the last day of school. Dismissal was at 11:30 today, and my last student left just about 45 minutes ago. It definitely hasn't sunk in yet, but I'm sure it will at some point. I'm not sure if it'll happen gradually or all of a sudden. Graduation last night was a big success and I think helped me and the students to get some closure. It turned into a pretty big, over the top thing, and for a while I was really wondering if trying to do this was a stupid move on my part. Thankfully, Justin's church, Wilmington City Vineyard Church , volunteered to provide refreshments and help with setup and cleanup. They were a huge help, and it made everything way nicer than if I had just done it myself. I was just planning on throwing a pack of cookies and some juice on a table, but they had tablecloths and healthy snacks and got me folding chairs and all sorts of helpful stuff. I'd say there were about 60 people there, plus my 8 students and the volunteers from...
