For me the end of a school year is always bittersweet. While the image of summer and a time to relax is exciting and appealing, saying good bye to my students is always a challenge. This year is no different. When I spend 9 months of the year, 5 days a week, and 6 hours a day with the kids, it's very easy to grow attached. I've always felt that my classes have the special family feel or basketball team vibe to them and this class was no different. In fact, the 5V class of 2011-12 exemplifies just that, perhaps more than others.
No doubt we've learned a ton, but the way we did it, and the manner in which we grew together and learned from one another is special.
BELOW: KIDS LEAVING SCHOOL FOR THE SUMMER.
I want to thank all the kids and parents from this year's 5V for a wonderful year. Teaching is hard enough, but with your support, enthusiasm, and passion it really helped not only me, but the kids. Thanks again parents!
Perhaps I'll see you around town. The kids said they want to play soccer and kickball with me over the summer We'll see how they feel after one week of SUMMER!
All the best :)
