As the days of school left reach the single digits, my excitement for my first summer break can almost be contained. I'm excited to start some projects at home. I'm excited to maybe find out what it feels like to be bored. I'm most excited for my best friend Megan's new baby girl who should be arriving right as the summer is kicking off! We had her baby shower last weekend, which really made everything seem so real! I'm so excited for her and her husband Jeremy as they start this new chapter together.
With all the changes coming as a new season is beginning, I can't help but look at this picture above. I took this picture on my first day of being in my very own classroom. I had NO idea what I was doing...all I knew was everything I had worked for was finally at my fingertips. I spent weeks working on getting my classroom just right, wanting it to be perfect for the kiddos that were about to arrive. I think back to the first day of school-the kids seemed just as scared as I was. When I think about the growth that has been made this year, I am not only looking at my kiddos, but also myself. I'll never forget this group for many reasons. As our days together become limited, it is finally starting to set in that my time to be an influence in their life is coming to an end. It really makes you stop and think, "did I do my best?", "did I do all I could?"....I sure hope so.
