First School Year is Over

        Well, today is the last day of the 2016-2017 school year and for me it is sad but a big deal at the same time. It is sad because I have no idea where I'll be next year. We aren't promised the school that we are at now. I was thinking the other day that I have been at that school most of the school year. I started this job in Sept. Of last year. I did kind of fall for my kiddos even though they are quite crazy at times. I still love them.
         Yeah, I get to see them over the summer, most of them anyways. I am just not their group teacher anymore so just not seeing them as often. It is crazy that I have spent a year under a public school job. It made me realize how much I miss working under them and with those types and ages of children. Just knowing what is going on in that community and see that I can really move up is encouraging. I mean they just passed another chance to build more schools in the area.
           Yes, I have fell in love with the 2nd grade over this year. I get to help out with the Kindergarten and first grade over the summer so that should be interesting to see how that goes. It will be a busy summer, that's for sure. Nothing can be worse then working all summer for a preschool/daycare. Compared to that, this summer is going to be a breeze. Everyone is warning me how much harder it is going to be but I just keep thinking at least it isn't with the littler ones.
          I am just not looking forwards to the full days again. I got spoiled over the school year. That is only for two months though so I can handle it. It has also been really neat to see the change in the 2nd graders. I still haven't seen it brain wise but I have seen it personality and behavior wise and for some of my children that was a big accomplishment​. We will see how I do with the change that might be coming next school year.
           I still have the summer to get through and the start of next year to see if I like everything about the program but I am sure I will like it. There couldn't be a more perfect summer theme for me to start with then a camping theme, which this summer is. It is something I can relate to too.
          I gave my 2nd graders a little end of the year sack as a present and they loved it. They had yo yos for the boys and lip gloss for the girls. Then they also had a little pen, some stickers, and some starburst candies​. I did let them open and play with the toys for a bit yesterday. They liked everything that was in the sack. I am going to break down again today and get some red, white, and blue ice pops for them to have a snack time for the last day/Memorial Day. I do spoil the children that I take care of because for now and in this moment of life, they are my only children too.
           Let's get this summer started! After this 3 day weekend, of course. I need a break for a little while before heading into the full days for the summer.
