Yesterday was a rough day. It was my last day at St. John's Day School as a Lead 4's Teacher. I will miss my class so so so much! It's amazing how attached you can get to kids so quickly. Some of the kids in my class I knew last year, but half of them were new this year. I love each and every one of them and hope their new teacher is deserving of them (and patient with them!). I will miss my kids, my coworkers, and teaching preschool in general. I wish we still lived on a bartering system. It seems fair that since I am educating the very young minds of tomorrow that we could barter that profit for Matthew's furthering educational needs. But no no, on Monday I begin my new job at Liberty. Thus ends my teaching career. Well, at least for awhile. I hope to go back to teaching preschool someday.
Just a glimpse of what I left.
My bulletin board.
My entire class. What a great group of kids. I set the timer, ran to get in place, told them to "say cheese", and miraculously they all looked at the camera and smiled! Amazing.
Yes, I was blessed beyond measure with such a great group of three-year-olds. I'm not sure why God worked things out in the timing He chose. I could have been hired over the summer and never started the year with my class. But I'm sure glad I got some time with them. It was sure hard to say goodbye yesterday though. Many tears were shed. Such sweethearts. One of the little girls told the early arrival teachers that it was going to be "Ms. Rebecca's sad day today." She spent the whole day snuggling with me instead of playing. Music class made me happy again because I made sure to have a lot of fun with my kids since I wouldn't be having music with them anymore. Later this same little girl told the music teacher, "Music made Ms. Rebecca happy today!". Such a sweetie. Oh how I'll miss it.
