and rang in the new year dancing away to "dont stop believin"
it was pretty entertaining.

today was the definition of bittersweet.
LAST DAY of student teaching
LAST DAY of college.
it was full of laughs, and definitely some tears.
i have grown to love my 3rd graders, and my cooperating teacher
and the whole school,
and now they make me leave
YET
im done with COLLEGE!
what the heck? how did this happen!
sheesh.
it was definitely a great day to say the least. we did art projects, and the kids all had prizes and cards for me.
some of the girls cried most of the day, which broke my heart, but it was still a happy day.
luckily im going back on monday for lunch,
and then in a few weeks to substitute,
so they couldnt even get rid of me if they wanted to.
:)
