Another School Year Ends...

Sweet summertime is here...and as sweet as it is, it is also bittersweet.  This year, I completed my 10th year of teaching.  And, each year, it seems I grow closer and closer to my students, which always makes it hard to say "good bye" to my 8th graders.  This year was especially hard, because I LOVE my 8th graders.  They have been the best group I have ever taught, and I am going to miss each of them immensely.  Also, next year I am going to switch positions within my school.  I am moving to PE.  And, I am SOOOO excited and wanted this change, but it is also going to be bittersweet.  I work with the best Special Ed department, and while I will still get to see everyone, I know the level of closeness will change.  Change is always hard, but it is needed from time to time.  I am ready for this change and looking forward to August when I will begin a new adventure in education!
