I can't believe I managed to get this far. :-) Not really terrifying per se, just that the whole experience was really full on. And yes, smaller numbers would be better. Some schools cater for just 6 to 8 kids in a class. Mine was quite big comparatively - 12/13 kids in one go. Plus, a real variety of abilities and disabilities. The experience was good for me overall, though. Hard work, but good. :-) @Kay – I did, I did!

Such a softie I am :) I can't believe you are 3/4 done! Seeing how far you have come makes me realize how close behind you I am. I am impressed over and over again by the patience I have seen in some teachers. Bless them for that! I only hope I can measure up to it one day. It sounds like your experience have been a wonderful mix of good and great (and a little frustrating), and I am not the least bit surprised by the compliments you have been paid from students and teachers. Even though you aren't 'done' yet, I do hope you are enjoying the shift in gears and relaxing a bit. I know all to well how crazy the juggling gets and am so proud of all you have accomplished. Cheers! I just teared up reading about you tearing up at the goodbye poster! Such a softie I am :) I can’t believe you are 3/4 done!

Wow! Have you been busy! I don't have to ask what you have been up to, I read it! You go girl! I am running two schools among the myriad of other things I get to do everyday! I will be sharing this post with my teachers. We are winding down our school year and it has been a challenging one for some of my teachers! Keep doing what you are doing! You are impacting the lives of our next generation of leaders! Have an AMAZING day! Darlene McDaniel Good Morning Shai!
