Another school year gone. And not that we're counting, but the end of year 15 for Ben and I. Why is this important? Because we'll be eligible to retire after 30 years teaching, so we're halfway there. Whether or not we actually will retire then, we don't know. But it feels good to know we COULD.
The kids have each had a very good year. Maria loved her teacher, had a great class, and learned a lot too. Her final report card shows straight A+ averages in all subjects. She is so excited to move on to 4th grade, where students get to change rooms/teachers for some classes for the first time. But she is really going to miss her 3rd grade teacher, Mrs. Pearson, and knows that although she'll still see her some, it won't be the same as being in her class each day. I think this is one of those teachers she'll remember her entire life.
Sam had a great year too. He liked preschool, and loved Kinderpaws, the afternoon Latch Key program. He has matured so much this year, and has also charmed his teachers with his smile and sense of humor. Sam was extremely healthy - didn't miss any days of preschool, and only one of Kinderpaws - after spending the night in the hospital recovering from his concussion. Today he brought home his apron from Kinder Kitchen and a scrapbook from the entire year at Kinderpaws, and its so cute. And he still sees his Kinderpaws friends as many are on the same T-ball team. (Look for a movie of his hit from tonight's game soon.)
Tonight we are celebrating the beginning of summer with a popcorn/movie night and High School Musical 2. Its about summer vacation and just seemed wrong when it came out right before school started in August.
What Time Is It? Summertime!
