Today was the last day of school and I have never been more ready for anything! It has a rough year! I have really been ultra grumpy for the last two weeks! I have struggled with lazy lazy students and demanding students! My many problem is that when I am grumpy I really don't act to different except for the fact that I am a little short and more sarcastic with students! But at the same time my students do and say crazy things!

This is a picture of a box of Chocolates that two student's gave to me! It says "Heart Ashley and Ross Were sorry" I know that there are some people that may not speak student so I thought I would provide the interperation. The girl writes her s sideways which makes it hard to read and yes I do know that she used the wrong were, I am not an english teacher so I didn't yell at them! Why they were sorry: The Thursday after we dropped Kyle off at the MTC they had said something towards Are you done yet and something else mean. Normal I probably would have laughed it off or ignor them but my emotions were a little to close to the cuff and I started to cry right when I was assigning an assignment! You have never seen a class get so quiet or turn on classmates so fast! Later the student's said that everyone in the classroom hated them because they made me cry! I laughed and said I really don't even remember what they said! My class did turn on them and were very concerned about me! One even tried to give a hug even though I told him I don't give hugs to anyone! Even though my fifth hour was really bad they did love me !
We talked about enviornmentalism in the 1970s and the concerns and these are a few posters that made me giggle:

This one might me inaporerate but I laughed really hard when they put it up!
This one is inapporpreate! The girls in the group wouldn't let them put it up so they put it on the back! It says I save H2O: Shower in Groups. I love it when they regulate themselves.

This one is for Aunt Allison I know she doesn't read this very often but one of my favorite lines from Thanksgiving is "The Polar Bears are not Dying"
I debated on whether or not to put this picture up! But these two seriously are crazy! They stole my phone off my desk and took this picture in the hall and put it as my wallpaper! Then place the phone back on my desk as if nothing had happen! The next day they wanted to know if I keep it there and I said no way and they they tried to talk me into leaving it there for the rest of school! I really will miss them in about Mid-July but right now I am super excited not to see them everyday!
This student called me "Melissa" all the time, I called him Fat Head! I know super mature! I did get him to call me ma'am! I also got the girl that sat in front of him to call me Queen Melissa! I didn't think that she would call me it but for the last few weeks she did for the last few weeks of school!

Melissa,
I love reading about your experiences as a teacher. I just finished student teaching and while I miss my students I love being home with my 2 year old and newborn. It brought tears to my eyes to read this blog post. I absolutely loved my student teachig experience although it took everything out of me. I cried a couple of times during class. It is interesting to see how students react. My excuse was that I was pregnant, but really my emotions sit on my sleeves often. What a difference we get to make as teachers even if we don't miss our students right now we miss them a lot days, weeks, and months later. A friend of mine posted this on her blog. She received it from her son's first grade teacher. YOu will love it!
Dear Parents,
I give you back your child, the same child you confidently entrusted to my care last fall. I give him back pounds heavier, inches taller, months wiser, more responsible, and more mature than he was then.
Although he would have attained his growth in spite of me, it has been my pleasure and privilege to watch his personality unfold day by day. I give him back reluctantly, for having spent nine months together in the narrow confines of a crowded classroom, we have grown close, have become a part of each other, and we shall always retain a little of each other.
Ten years from now if we met on the street, your child and I, a light will shine to our eyes, a smile to our face, and we shall feel the bond of understanding once more, this bond we feel today.
We have lived, loved, laughed, played, studied, learned, and enriched our lives together this year. I wish it could go on indefinitely, but give him back I must. Take care of him, for he is precious.
Keep up the good work.
I am glad that you have finished school! That is super awesome! It is a very rewarding job!
