A busy but good week, full of joy and accomplishment. I made major progress in getting the current art classroom cleaned up, packed up, and ready for my move to the second campus. I got art works returned to children and we made some work just to hang up to decorate the lunchroom and hallways with the understanding that they won't get them back until the fall.
The children have been especially sweet this week as they are realizing that it is time for me to say goodbye again. The fifth graders have been more sentimental than usual as our goodbye is of a more permanent nature. They will be moving on up to the Middle School and since I no longer live in their town, I am not likely to see many of them. It is a sad part of teaching, softened by the bumper crop of fresh young kindergarten students who arrive in the fall.
We did our usual busy week with group and church, but added two extras this week. Tuesday night a former student came over and had dinner with us, which was particularly delightful. She even brought a bouquet of fresh flowers! Oh my goodness how lovely they are and she is doing so well.
Thursday night my daughter persuaded me to take her to the high school baseball game, which was a shut out! I was glad to see a few former students playing so well and really glad it finished up early as it was cold once the sun went down.
I managed to pay my attorney a substantial amount this month and that was gratifying. Today a coworker paid me $20.00 for painting a banner that only took me about 20 minutes to do...wow. A great week.
