Going in early
Only one and a half hours of school today
All done by 10 15
Clap Out at 9 20
Looks like we made it
It's over. It went so fast. I so loved working there this year. I started as gal who asked so many questions. It's so hard to be new. You have to interrupt and ask questions and just sit and wait for time to ask and a new project. You have to told and shown everything.
I walked to school most days. That was a joy. I loved walking home. Thought about the day, cleared my head, sometimes called my sister to vent. I saw all seasons as I walked to and from and that is one of my favorite memories of this year.
Now as the year ends I am proud of myself. I learned alot and I know the answers to the questions. I know what questions to ask (most of the time) and I can find the answers if I need to. I learned how to do my paperwork and I can do it without any help. I joke when I pretend to answer the phone, Saratoga Shores Elementary home of the revolving door. We had over 400 students move in and out this year. That's a lot. That's my job to keep the files current and it was busy. After today I am done.
We have a clapout at 9 20. The principal plays a sappy song over the intercom and the 6th graders walk through the halls one last time as the other students line them and they can either touch their hands as they leave or clap as they walk by. Then we have 2 teachers leaving and they walk through. It's emotional. I think the music has alot to do with it. I love it.
When today is over I am done until August. What will I do? Well, there is a little cleaning that needs to happen here and some yard work I am itching to do. The first week my daughter is attending girls camp and my son is attending a basketball camp. What I want to do is stay home and watch the sun make patterns on the carpet as it moves across the sky and streams in through the windows. Then the next week I am watching my sisters dogs. Well, not me watching them I don't like to touch them but they are here for my family to enjoy. Then that next week my son comes home from college in WA. Then summer can start!
Schools out for the summer
I now have a 8th grader, a 9th grader, a sophomore at UVU and a super senior at CWU
I hope it's a great day
And it will be!
