6/19/12

Today is the last day of the 2011-2012 school year!  All is put away, floors are swept, cabinets locked, and all kids are alive and accounted for (no fatalities)!  I call this a really good year!

I will miss my jelly beans (some more than others)! 

It is hard to think that I will have a new set of kids next year after falling in love with the kids I have this year!

6/11/12

Today begins the last full week of school!!!!  Woo hoo!  High Five everybody!
So one of my student walks in today and asks, "Ms. Torres if this is the last week of school, why are we doing work? I mean shouldn't we just do nothing?" 
"Well, tomorrow you have your Math Final and you officially have school for 7 more school days.  Grades are not due until next Tuesday so everything you are doing now still counts. What do you think? Should we be doing school work this week?" I ask her.
"Oh, you mean school still counts?!" she asked shocked.
"Sweetie, school ALWAYS counts!" I replied last. 

Let me tell you, she looked so disappointed!!!!
