Today is the first day of the month of May and the last four weeks of the '10-11 school year. To say this has been an emotionally draining year is an understatement. There have been so many things, and something different each week. I really think I need the summer to process all of this, or maybe to just forget about it!
I am thankful I will have this group of students for one more year as 8th graders. I plan to get my few weeks of rest and go at it full swing in the fall. I have nothing to lose! My mission will be the same- to get to know the students better and to just take one day at a time, helping them prepare for high school as much as is possible.
Will my presence make a dent in their lives? Who knows? It's not really my place to worry about that. My job is to be heaven's heart and hands and leave the rest to God.
I pray the last four weeks of school are filled with joy and sunshine and that my students have a great summer and that we all come back prepared to have a great year!
