"School is over so it is time for Ms. Kara to move."
Ms. Taylor "Where is she moving?"
"To camp. To live there."
Colby
"Ms. Kara even though I won't see you at school everyday sometimes I will just see you on the street and that will make me happy."
Napoleon
"Ms. Kara I want to play in the creek during my summer vacation....did you get to play in the creek during your summer vacation?"
Me "Yes, I spent lots of time playing in the creek with my sisters."
"But when you were a kid I was not born yet...so that was a long time ago....so are you sure the creek was here?
School is out for the summer!
It is very bittersweet so luckily I will get to see most of the kids at camp!
Thank you for reading and for laughing and smiling along with me. It was another amazing year filled with joy and new challenges each day. I am so grateful to have had the opportunity to spend every day viewing the world through the eyes of these beautiful young children.
Have a wonderful summer!

When we were sitting down for snack one of the kids took the chair that Belinda wanted to sit in. She started to get upset but then calmed down and looked up at me and said...
"My mom says to breath in and then let it go."
Great advice.

"Ms. Kara why is there not a shower in the bathroom?"
Me "We do not need a shower while we are at school."
"But where do you get clean?"
Me "I take a shower at home."
"But you live here."
It is always a fun day when they learn you do not actually live at school....

All of the kids did a scavenger hunt around the neighborhood to collect cans and other items for our local food bank. Afterwards they all got cupcakes as a special treat...
"Ms. Kara I really want another cupcake."
Me "If there are extras everyone might be allowed to get another one."
"Or maybe we could donate them with all the cans we collected so they have something yummy."
So sweet!
