The Day After

By Paige
Well today was the day after I dropped the bomb about leaving. The students seem to be taking it well and I did not cry today! That's an improvement from yesterday. I so appreciate the emails, phone calls, and visits from parents. The students have been so kind and comforting as well. I hope to make the most of the time that I have left with them (i.e. new pictures, maybe a party for PTP 100% participation, and lots of good days.)

The students did not have any homework today as progress reports were given out tonight at the PTP meeting. I will be assigning homework again on Thursday night. There is a Math test tomorrow and then the Friday tests. I know many of the grades in the Tuesday folder were not as good as we had all hoped, but I will be giving extra credit and also doing more extensive reviews to help bring up those grades.

As always, call, email, or leave me a comment!

    Mrs. Gordon,
    I want to wish you and your husband much happiness in your new positions and in your new home. Our family will miss you, seems as though we were just getting to know each other. I want you to know that you are blessed with the gift of teaching and Robbie has learned a great deal in the short time he has spent with you. How fast the year has gone by, seems you just started yesterday. Thank you for your dedication to the kids. Take care of yourself and may God continue to bless you and yours.

    Mrs. Gordon,
    I want to wish you and your husband much happiness in your new town and your new positions. Congratulations to your husband! It seems that we have just started to get to know each other and your leaving. Is there anyway we can change your mind? :) I also want you to know that you have the gift of teaching and I can't begin to tell how much Robbie has grown and how much he learned in such a short time. This past year has gone by way too fast, seems like just yesterday you came to the 5th grade. Please take care of yourself and may God continue to bless you and yours.
