My classroom!

it’s that time of year again. Labour day (at least this year, I’m not moving in or scared to death!)

tuesday, thursday and friday of last week- i was in the school setting up my classroom. it looks colourful and exciting- don’t you agree that grades 3 + 4s will enjoy? I am so excited! (and at ease because i know the school, the staff and students already from last year)– and there is a new young teacher (as mentioned). Janelle, Ashley and I have already been called the “3 musketeers” at the staff meeting (let’s hope the nickname doesn’t stick. hee.)

Last Day of School

ah. I think I’m going to cry. No wait, I already have a couple of times today. sob.

i was actually fine all day, until people started running up to me at the last recess and crying themselves and begging me not to go. it’s a really great feeling to know that you are loved.

here is some evidence:

- the staff got me acrylic paints and watercolour paper

- maddie wrote me a very heart-felt letter (and a cool bracelet in a retro box). it’s cool to make differences in peoples lives.

- a group of boys put together a package for me with little gifts and cards. yes a group of BOYS (that doesn't happen very often) in grade 6/7!

- kathleen got some cool bracelet set and other goodies

- rebecca painted me a little pot

- justine got me a yummy smelling candle

I also got 2 really awesome books of drawings and letters to me (from the 3/4s and the 2s) and the grade 1’s made me some funny “What did you learn about Mlle Morgan” sheets. Some kid thought that I had yellow eyes, bought toys on my spare time, am 14 years old and 1 inch tall. wee!

I did get that 2 month LTO stint in teeswater for core french so I start Monday (ack!)– i’m happy that I have continued pay, but I also wanted a bit of a break…

5 year olds are so darn cute

Linneah (in senior kindergarten) drew me this picture. She’s so cute. There I am with the COOLEST orange shoes and my glasses. heh. She also drew every kid in her class (and she told me who each one of them was!)- She’s the one sitting in front of the “TV”. She’s the best.
