Packing and Moving

Well, my crazy life is kind of under control. However, I am moving my house tomorrow and I haven't finished packing. And my classroom gets packed up Monday and Tuesday. By the time I am done with all of this I am going to be sick of boxes and all that stuff.
The best part of today. . . SCHOOL IS OUT! Yes. I am so happy. It isn't that I don't love teaching and being there. It is the fact that this year has been all around hard for me. I am ready to move on and meet with the new challenges I am going to face teaching 3rd grade. I am going to miss my 6th grade class from this year. I really want what is best for them. And I worry what will happen to them in Junior High. Especially those who really can do better they just don't want to prove it to me. I really almost cried this week a couple of times. These kids are great and I am so happy they were part of my life for a year. I have changed because of them. I hope they have changed because of me. I hope that I made a difference in some lives. I think I am going to miss these kids more than I miss last years class. . . just because I have put so much of myself into them. It was rough but worth every tear and moment of frustration. To see those kids shine and give each one of them a hug and let them know I really do care.
Okay. It is now time for me to go back to packing. . . or I will go to bed and pack in the morning. I will tell you about the move when I get all settled.
