This school year has just FLOWN by.
Yes, I will be crying on friday.
Yes, I am aware that it could be potentially embarrassing.
Bring it on.
This year I learned that some of my students not only found my blog, they read it and studied it, thoroughly.
So, here is to me hoping that some of them will read this post one day.
I will miss:
crazy stories
embarrassing stories
funny stories
dance parties
sassy comments
dodgeball
tree-hugging
art projects
singing with the guitar
food parties
learning
confused looks
silly questions
serious conversations
soccer
their concern for my singleness
racing down the hallway
comforting the crying ones
picture taking
math reviews
science projects
surprise parties
quick writes
speaking french all day
accents
seating arrangements
inside jokes
matching shoes
smiling faces
broken lockers
returns from the weekend
babar
reading time
simon says
uncontrollable laughter
student presentations
christmas lights
poisson d'avril
friendship bracelets
SEP
high fives
making videos
mrs conrad
and much much MUCH more...
What a treat this year has been! I can't wait to keep doing this over and over again.
I am so grateful to my students who made this the best year ever!
A few lessons that I, my dear students, hope I have taught you:
1. You are special and loved.
2. Education is important.
3. Art is important.
4. Your teacher cares about you.
5. Life is real, and what you learn in school prepares you for it.
6. Be respectful.
7. Be kind.
8. Don't whine.
9. Watch out for everyone, especially those who don't have many friends.
10. Get along with everyone, even if you don't want to. Force yourself.
11. Be the better person.
12. Always have a smile on your face.
A few lessons that you, my dear students, have taught me:
1. I am special, because you show me everyday and remind me in your actions and hard work.
2. Education is important, because it is what has got me here and I see that you cherish it as well.
3. Art is important, because it gives room for creativity and fun.
4. You care about me, because you ask me questions and give me advice.
5. Life is real. Be prepared for the inevitable.
6. Be respectful, because that way we are all respectful towards each other.
7. Be kind, because others see your actions.
8. Don't whine, because that's just embarrassing.
9. Watch out for everyone, because everyone has a different story and a different situation.
10. Get along with everyone, because some days some students make me want to pull my hair out.
11. Be the better example.
12. Always have a smile on your face.
Merci pour une merveilleuse année mes amis!
