Today was my last day in Mrs. Kyriopoulos' 5th grade class at Edith Bowen. I didn't know that in 5 short weeks I could get so attached to every single student in that class. I was brought so near to tears when a student (that I never really thought liked me) gave me a hug at the end of the day and told me how sad he was that I was leaving. . .He even told me that I was his favorite teacher and made me promise to come back and visit. This individual comes from pretty hard circumstances and acts out a lot in class. It really meant a lot to me that I had made that kind of impact on him.
On a lighter note, I received the best-ever going away present from another student today. We had a guest speaker that brought some pretty cheap yardsticks for the kids to keep. One student's ruler broke in the process of goofing off among other things. When he discovered that it had broken off right at a "G" he wrote Mrs. next to it and gave it to me so that I would remember him.
I had such a blast with this class and I really am going to miss all of my kids!
