So this is my last week of teaching grade two! I can't believe that it's already March break and I'm writing report cards and packing up my stuff. Most people ask if I'm excited to be done work, looking forward to getting back to my thesis and a few other things that have been put off...the truth is, I'm not! I'm actually sad about leaving my little kids and my classroom and my school. As I usually do, I have gotten too sentimentally attached to all of these things and it doesn't feel right to let someone else come and take my place...I don't want anyone else teaching my class! It just feels like a bit of a rip to have to leave in the middle of everything...
But, such is life, and in reality it is a good thing. The timing has worked out perfectly. I can take some time to get my brain out of grade two and into my masters thesis, and then pack up and move! Wow.
Besides crying about being done my LTO, I also wanted to post a little story. It's not about my grade twos, but about a 3 year old that I happen to know. She is the most wonderful little girl you can imagine, and two nights ago during the thunder storm her mom said to her "it's a thunder storm! That means spring is coming!" In her adorable three year old voice she asked, "Where? Where is spring?"
Her parents later filled in a bit of background explaining that, after telling her that spring is "just around the corner", she continually asked "what corner?" and while riding the car would ask "this corner? Is spring here?"
How sweet!
So, it's back to the world substitute teaching: shorter days, the ability to say "no thanks!", and nothing to do in the evenings...Truth be told, I can't complain about that!
