Last Day of School
We had a brief half day today with lots of smiles and hugs.
The year flew by...I can not believe it is over.
I enjoyed every minute of teaching and spending time with these special, magical, beautiful young children.
I have loved sharing the moments of laughter and the moments that touch my heart.
Thank you for reading.
I will be back in August and look forward to sharing more special stories as I continue this wonderful journey of teaching....

"Ms. Kara it is almost summer vacation."
Me "I know, are you excited?"
"Yes so very excited...I am going to spend lots of time doing fun things in Atlanta...and I am going to Camp Serenbe...and maybe going to the beach...and I am going to get a gold fish."
Me "It sounds like you have lots of wonderful plans."
"Yes well summer last for 90 whole days you know."
Me "Yes, almost."
"And I am going to get my goldfish at the very end of summer so I can bring it to school for our very first show and share."
Me "I will look forward to that."
"Wonderful, see you then. Well actually I will see you at camp."
So excited for camp. I would be too sad if I went a whole summer without spending time with all of my little friends.

Napoleon
Napoleon made me a get well card while I was sick. I had not read it yet so he decided he would tell me about it.
"Do you know what it says?"
Me "No, would you like to tell me?"
"Well first it has your name....and my name...so you know who it is for and who it is from."
Me "That is wonderful. I can't wait to read it."
"There is more.....then it says that I hope you feel better soon."
Me "Thank you so much, that is so sweet."
"And there is a birthday hat. I thought that might help."
Me "It will. I love birthdays."
"Well it is not your birthday yet. But you can look at it and then save it until it is your birthday and you feel better."
Me "That sounds great, I feel better already."
"Good. I am happy you are back."
Me "I am happy to be back. Thank you for helping me feel better Napoleon."
"You are so welcome."
This job gets better everyday. I can not believe we only have one week left of school...
