A day in the life . . .

Today was Bailey's last day of student teaching - and her birthday!!

It seemed to be the perfect reason to have a party!!


We "partied" all day long!! (Actually, we just had a little celebration for each class throughout the day, so it 's not quite so decadent as it sounds!)

I gave all the students note cards and instructed them to write a note to Ms. Porter telling her the one thing they will remember most about their experience having her as their teacher for the last 10 weeks.

One rather short boy wrote "I will remender that you are the tallest teacher I ever had!"

Another boy wrote, "You are a very nice and kind teacher. Not that Mrs. Terrill isn't."

Bailey did an outstanding job - I will miss her - and the students will miss her too. It has been a growing experience for both of us.

It's good to know that we are always learning!

(And yes, the box contained an apron I made her. Two boys said to Bailey, "Did Mrs. Terrill make that?" When she said yes, one said, "But it looks like what you buy in a store.")

Funny how looking "store bought" is a compliment!!

And the plate had pumpkin bread - a big hit. I never cease to be amazed at how hardly anyone doesn't like pumpkin bread!
