This is the last week of our school year. I've been going through photos and writing up some of the funny things the children have said this past year. And now I'm feeling a bit sad. It's hard to say goodbye to children I've grown to love. Although most of them will still be at the school, it won't be the same. It's time to let go ...
Heidi and I work so well together. She gave me a photo album as an end of school year gift. We think alike as my album to her should be in my mailbox by Tuesday at the latest. Thank you Shutterfly!
In the album I received, Heidi interviewed each child and asked them questions. She recorded them in their exact words. I loved each one.
I had to laugh as Saniya said "Miss Debbie is special because she ties my shoes." If you only knew how many times I have to tie her shoes! But I really don't mind. One day she will be able to double knot her shoes all by herself. :)
At the beginning of each school year, I collect cute things the children say. I place them in a jar like this one. This weekend I took them out to review.
Here are a few:
- Indira told us her grandma likes to eat lots of chocolate and she lost her teeth
- One of the children had hiccoughs and Melika yelled out that they had the 'pickups'
- I told Heidi that I exercised that morning and Sam yelled out "you're losing weight Miss Debbie"
- We were talking about being good and Hadley said "we're not going to have another cranky day"
- Violet said "I told mommy I didn't want a sandwich for lunch and she said TOUGH"
- Vivian told me that she was happy. I asked her why and she answered "because you're here"
Is that cute or what? I will miss their sweet faces. And I may even miss all their boo-boos too!
