Well, the last blog is here. What will you do without it? I guess you will have to go back to reading the newspaper with your coffee in the morning. :0) Please know in advance that I am an overachiever when it comes to blogging. Not everyone does their blog to my extent. I sure hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have enjoyed writing it. I never delete it, so the kids can have it even when they are 60 and at a reunion and want to go back in time. It will be there.
We had a great day today on our Spinner's Bike Trip. What an awesome company that does sooooo much for Arrowhead Elementary School's kids! It felt great to give back to them, and the kids loved it. yum!
There is no homework tonight. Kids may take off the rest of the year. :0)
Liam and Adelaide will be our All Star Players in the Staff vs. Kids game tomorrow. It was SOOOOO difficult to choose. I ended up with 8 kids left on the list for the week. So, I put them in a hat and drew two. All 22 kids did so awesome. It was fun to see them catch themselves and correct their character. What a fun way to end the week!
We will have one last meal together tomorrow thanks to Chase and Casasha's parents. (And possibly others that I don't know about!) Rootbeer will be served with the lunch. If your child doesn't like that, they may bring a drink of their choice. Jimmy John's lunch will be served.
It has been my absolute privilege to be your child's teacher this year. When I was doing report card comments, I teared up thinking about each child. What an amazing year. This has been the first year in my teaching career where I have become friends with parents, actual friends. I felt like I was teaching kids that I have known for years.
Thank you for trusting me. Thank you for supporting me. Thank you for sharing your child with me. I have enjoyed every single minute. I hope that I am forever in their lives now. Please, please invite me in. I would love to continue to watch each of these students grow up, play ball, come to recitals, graduations, weddings, etc…
Please know that I am always here for you or your child. If next year, you need something or they need help on something, just stop in or give me a call. I am not a one year teacher, and I will always make time for any of you.
I am so grateful and blessed to have each of you in my life. So blessed!
Have an amazing and fun summer making a million new memories!
Love,
Ms. Erickson
