Schools out for Summer!





Yesterday was our offical last day of school. This was my first "last day of school," experience as a teacher. It was a lot of fun but kind of sad too. We took our kids to the new lynden park and we played and had a picnic. We came back to our class and my kids did a little presentation. Jen (my partner) had helped the kids put together this AMAZING scrapbook of their pictures and a piece of writing that said why they loved me as a teacher and why i should be hired for a full time job next year. It was SO cute. Conor and I read through it last night and i was fighting back the tears and laughing so hard as well. Here are some of my favorite lines:

" You should hire Mrs. Thorpe for these reasons. First, she comes with a lot of cool science projects. Second, she actually listens to her students."

" She Always asks me when I walk in the door how I am doing. Every morning she was there....She keeps people in line! So you don't have to worry about that."

" She is caring because when you are bleeding she gives you a bandaid"

"She is very nice. When you get in trouble she is always nice about it."

"She is a good dancer on hip hop songs."

" She plays baseball with us."

"She is nice to people who are not bad. She has a big smile when bad people are good people." (this was one of my fav:)

Man, i'm going to miss these kids. We'll see what happens next year, i'm waiting....

It's good to hear that you give bleeding kids bandaids... very responsible of you. But seriously very cute comments. Hurrah for teachers!
