School starts in 3 weeks!

So I haven't posted in a while because things were crazy the last 2 months of school and so far this summer has been busy!

I logged into where we take attendance to see who some of my kids are going to be this year and I have a bunch I have had before but I also don't have some that I have had the last two years.

This will technically be my second year teaching but third year with this group of students because I did a long term sub job and tons of subbing when they were in 6th grade.

I am realizing as this year is getting closer I am already sad thinking about the end of the year, now that may seem sappy but I don't care.

I had prepared myself to not have this group this coming year but would still be able to see them in the halls but now I will have them again and this time when we say goodbye they will be moving to a new building so I won't see them anymore!!!

This group is not just another group I am teaching but the group I started my teaching career with and have watched them go from 6th graders to 8th graders and the changes they have gone through.  This group will always hold a special place in my heart since their were my first group!

I am so excited for this year to watch them all grow but I am already dreading the end of the year!

Note to the Class of 2021,

I am so proud of all the things you have accomplished so far!  I look forward to seeing what you accomplish this year and in your 4 years of high school!  I am so glad I had the chance to "loop the grades" with you!  I know you all will be great things, you already have and continue to! 

I will see you all in 3 weeks, when school starts!
