Saying Goodbye (for awhile)
Well, our time at our posts is rapidly evaporating. I’m getting pretty sentimental about the whole thing. I mean these are the first group of students that I have ever taught. These students have watched me learn how to teach. They undoubtedly have seen me grow ad morph into my new semi-teacher state and it makes me sad to have to say goodbye. Looking back to the first day always makes me laugh. I didn’t know the students and they didn’t know me. Now we are like a family. I love the community environment that has developed in my classroom. It took hard work to get to know the students and I’m going to miss them.But only for awhile….
My mentor teacher is pregnant and is going on maternity leave in March. She has asked me to be her long-term substitute and I have gladly accepted. So I will be teaching from March to the end of the school year. I’m excited at the prospect of seeing my students again. So in reality I shouldn’t be sad to say bye to my students because I will see them again.

Community! Such a beautiful creation to witness flower. In my own teaching, I thought it would not happen–but, we did it! Wonderful news about the long-term sub position. I have a 3-4 week long-term position with my students in April. I share your feelings about seeing them all again–I’m looking forward to it. wishing you the best! Mariah
