Hey Everyone-

If you have sent me an email, please know that I will get back to you soon. I’m having a bit of a hard time today coming to terms with not going back to school this school year. I know we still have online learning, but as I am quickly finding out, it just isn’t the same. I miss all of the kids. This has been my favorite year of teaching and the kids are what has made it so great. THIS group has been so kind, funny, smart, hard working, yes-annoying at times (lol, I know I am too so we’re even), but overall just the greatest group of kids. From my first hour that is barely awake and puts up with my caffeinated self dancing around and listening to music to try and get things going, to my lunch bunch group that drives me nuts, but who I secretly love to watch just playing and being kids, to my poor 7th hour group who has to deal with my really tired self and me leaving often for games, but who always steps up and is respectful and helpful at the end of the day. You kids have really made a difference in my life and perspective this year, and today I’m just feeling sad about missing out on the time I thought I had with you. I know, I know, I’m being dramatic, and I too love not waking up at 4:30 every morning and being super busy all the time, those are good things, but I’m just saying I miss my time with you all. You’re wonderful and I hope you know that. So be patient with me as I navigate and plan for some online novel reading and work, and figure out how to get more of you involved! Have a good night!
