My amazing class!

So I know my blog has been all about my sweet Adelyn lately but something else in my life this past school year needs mentioning! I was so incredibly blessed to have such an amazing group of kids this past year. I had 20 kiddos in my kindergarten class for the 2011-2012 school year. I had all but one student pretty much the entire year. Way back in August of last year I got to meet some of my students for the next year and I was immediately excited! I was lucky enough to have three students who were siblings of former students, and three other students who were best friends with those students. When my class came together on the first day of school I was in love. I mean I cannot even begin to tell you how amazing these kids were. I had some of the brightest group of kids as a whole that I have had in my three years at my school. I had some incredibly high readers and some students who I could actually have meaningful converstaions with. My kids this past year had spunk and personality. I was so excited, yet a little sad when I found out I would be missing the end of the year with these kids. Lucky for me, I got constant updates and pictures from their parents and my long-term sub.

The above picture is with three of awesome girls, Kaya, Sofia, and Mia!


Not only were my kids fantastic, the parents were the best! The parents of my students actually cared about their kids well being and my own. They were always checking in on their child's progress and always making sure there wasn't something that I needed. Because of these parents, the kids and I had a fantastic year together. I am 100% sure that these children will have many great adventures and are in for many exciting things in their futures! Thanks to the help of some great parents, I was able to put together an end of year picnic (after school was out) at the park. All but 5 students and their parents came out to the park for a picnic lunch. All of my kids got to meet Adelyn and I got to talk with them one last time before they become first graders. I know I will see many of these kids, as I have become close friends with their parents, but I needed to see them one last time before summer started. I will also be fortunate to hopefully have many of their siblings in my future. It killed me not to put the picture of the kids I took at the park on here, but I am putting up the picture of the three parents who will be okay with my post. Thank you to the parents and my class for making my year such an amazing one!
