It has ended..

What? My first year of teaching is over.. a year full of happiness, joy, tears, stress, and just the overload of work.. all gone.. to wrap it all up, it has been a great one.. never have I doubted my career choice. I have enjoyed every bit of journey. I can't wait to see what next year holds in store for us!

On the last day of school kids shared what their favorite moment in 2nd grade was.. well, I had my sweet girl with ADHD say "I love you Ms. Stanisic" after I gave her 3rd grade advice. Yes, I teared up badly. Then I had DG say, "my favorite moment in 2nd grade was when I had a chance to hug you every Friday." If nothing, my kiddos knew they were loved, and that was my biggest accomplishment this year. It was a bitter-sweet moment to say goodbye but we all  are ready for summer break.

Sweet Summer treat for my babies (with a bag full of books for summer reading!)

Here is what we did last few days of the school..we read Dinosaurs Before Dark, and the kiddos did the cereal box project in one day.. (thanks to 150 minutes reading block!)

We also had Red Carpet Awards.. They loved walking down the red carpet.. Of course, they posed for camera!

Well, I am ready to enjoy this summer break.. Mexico, here we come! :)
