it's my least favorite time of the year. so many of my students are leaving- heading off to kindergarden. it never gets easier saying goodbye. i love these children. some of them have been with me for 3 years. some i have known since they were babies and their older siblings attended meadowlark. i want to freeze time. or at least slow it down a bit. who doesn't?
ugh.
they came to my school so young. still so little and with baby fat. they have grown taller and leaner. their vocabularies have exploded. they have gone from scribbling to drawing people and animals and writing letters. they have become so close to their school friends. shown compassion. shared silliness and contagious laughter. and occasionally fought. but they have been like a family. and now they move on.
they'll be fine. better than fine and so will i. i know that, but it takes a little time getting used to the change.
