A Bittersweet End

This week, I had my last day in my kindergarten classroom for lab hours. It was definitely bittersweet to say goodbye. On my last day, I got to lead their morning activities and a center during stations time. At the end of the stations, before they went off to lunch, they came up to the table in which I was sitting at and started singing me a “Thank You” song. I was then told that they wanted to give me some kisses before I left. I soon learned that these were Hershey kisses as they slid across the table to me. I then received a big card with all their names on and a class picture. I also received a bag that had a scarf inside. I told my supervisor she had really outdone herself and that I was very appreciative for everything she’s done for me. It was nice knowing that in the six times I was there, I made a connection with each one of the students that they were really going to miss me. It’s crazy to see that that few of times you can have that deep of connection, but I’m excited to have my own students with a whole school year of that connection. Even though I was sad, I was also happy. It meant I was done with a portion of my class and one step closer to being done for the semester. It seems like school is flying by and I’m sure I’ll be graduated soon enough!
