Last day with the kiddies!

Today was our last day of work while the kids were still in school. It's a (religious) holiday here tomorrow so no one has class; the kids go back Friday for their last day but since we don't work Fridays this was our last day with them. It was a bit crazy since the teachers really don't have anything for them to do (since grades were due last week) and the 6th grade graduation was going on today. All the 6th graders were dressed up and they pinned blue ribbons across their chests to their shoulders- it was a cute idea but it looked a bit odd. I did have my fifth graders without another teacher- that was an interesting class. All but 4 of them actually participated in the English game I did which was impressive considering it's the low level English class and none of them (nor I) care about this school year anymore since we all knew it was basically over. I handed out stickers to everyone in my 4th grade class (one of my favs!) and they were all sad and said good-bye, so that was sweet! Anyways, it still doesn't feel like I'm leaving yet but that's probably because I still have another week of work left. Although the reality is starting to set in now that I don't have travels planned every weekend- I am really going to miss that!
