And so we’ve reached the final curtain!

Reading Kimbra’s post about saying goodbye to friends just about had me in tears. For most of the time I find it quite easy fighting off those kind of emotions and avoid at all costs making myself think about those things. I have always tried to avoid funerals and goodbyes. It’s just easier…..for me. I have had an incredible bunch of students that far outweighed all my expectations. There was never a time they seriously complained and all of them stepped up and completed amazing work. Blogging really took off with my students and there are some that will continue to write prolifically, Peggy and Dianna have started their own and I encourage you all to take a look at what they write…amazing. Here’s a line from one of them…

I grabbed my jacket, slipped on my shoes, and hurried out the door, just managing to squeeze into the silver elevator that threatened to close on me.

So thank you to all that have read, commented or in passing complimented the blog and the students work they and I really appreciate it. I look forward to next year working in Elementary with another amazing group of teachers and I want to wish everyone a safe and prosperous break.

As we return to “sunny” Ballarat, Australia, my thoughts turn to the new imac and equipment I will pick up in the first couple of weeks and the writing I intend to add in preparation for 4th and 5th grade next year. This will be a fantastic journey and I hope to hear from people around the world with ideas and work we can collaborate on. It is hard to get too sad when you know that our friends and family in Australia have not met Mimi and this excites us no end. Stay tuned as I will post in a couple of days…
