Little People Big Blessings!

Each year late May I begin to get sentimental and sad that my first graders are moving on to second grade.  We really become a family in our classroom.  This year though is so different.  Because of everything I've gone through I have grown so close to my first graders and their families.  These families have become more than my first grade parents they've become my friends.  As I sit here thinking about all I need to do to wrap up the school year I can't help but feel very emotional and quite frankly a bit scared.  Since February these people have been through it all with me, in a way they're my comfort and it's a bit scary to think of them leaving.  They understand and trust that I will give it my all to do best by their children.  It's crazy to think ahead to the fall and a new set of families coming in and my having to gain thier trust and I'm sure soothe their worries that their child has been placed in the classroom of the teacher who spent many days absent because of cancer.  I also have high expectations that the case will be quite different by August and I will NOT be the teacher with cancer rather the teacher who HAD cancer.  All I can hope and wish for is that God blesses me with another classroom filled with compasoniate giving families as I'm sure he will!  

Thank you for all you've done for me and with me Room 3!
