Last Day of my 1st Year of Teaching!

What a fabulous year! So many stressful times. . .yet so many fond memories!! I will never forget my first year of teaching (mostly because it just got over). I had a wonderful year and the best class ever!! They really made me look good as a teacher and worked really hard!! I got alot of credit for them being such great kids! It was a fabulous year - no more 3rd graders telling me every day that I am the best teacher they have EVER had! Now on to 5th grade where I get to deal with the major "attitude". On to taking down all my cute little jungle animals and the funny but mostly cheesy sayings that 3rd graders love! I am super excited to teach 5th grade next year - it just will be a completely different adventure!

Just a little fun note - today when one of my studnets was asked "If you could have one wish, what would it be?" This student replied "That Mrs. Call was my Mom." Now I would never wish that upon myself(I mean having an 8 year old at this point in my life) but I thought it was a great compliment.

Here are some pictures of some of the Amazing Teachers I work with!

FOND MEMORIES Of kids saying cute things in class.When I had 5 year olds it was interesting what they shared about their family. haha! Parents would have been surprised, but heck they are adorable. You are going to be a great 5th grade teacher! YAHOO for summer. MY GOODNESS! What will you do without taking home work? haha lovea ya and hope all is well. :)

How exciting to be done with school! So is it kinda the same feeling as it was in grade school knowing you have a whole summer to relax? I'm glad you enjoy your job so much, it really must make it that much easier!

Wow - I can not believe you are going to 5th grade next year! Bailey just finished the 5th and it was a rough year for our family. Hours on end of homework at night, never ending it seemed until 10:00pm Please dont be one of those teachers and torture the parents. I am praying for only 2 hours of work every night for 6th grade. If not I may have to consider home school and a future uneducated child on my hands! I never remember school being this hard! Are you guys making it to the reunion??
