bittersweet.

tomorrow is the last day of school.

HOORAY!!! it's been a great year, but this teacher always welcomes summer vacation with open arms. :) after i became a teacher, i realized that summer vacation is just as much for the teachers as it is for the students, if not more!

but, it's a bittersweet day, because as excited as i am for summer vacation, i am sad because i'll be leaving the classroom next year. i'll still be working, but i'll be working halftime, doing only reading recovery in the mornings.

while i am so excited about having more time at home to spend with choi boy, being a classroom teacher is such a huge part of me and i know i'll miss it next year.

i'm sure i won't miss it as much by the time choi boy is home and in our arms, but for now it's a little sad. it's probably not permanent, though, so i'll likely be back in the classroom within a few years so at least i know it's a "see ya later" and not a goodbye.

i'm looking forward to continuing to work as a reading recovery teacher and the good thing is, because i'll be working in first grade, i'll get to see my little kinders next year when they're in first grade!

eek! i feel so old...this year's kinders/next year's first graders were born in 2004! whoa!
