A Tribute to the Little Ones

Who thought saying goodbye to.....


*Tying shoes at least three times a day
*Zipping coats and zipping them again
*Bus duty in the negative degrees
*Taking at least two minutes to say the Pledge of Allegiance
*Snot
*Coughing in my face
*Running my head off for 8 solid hours out of the day
*The colds because I'm not use to the germs
*Constantly reminding to raise hands,say kind words, and to act correctly
*Grading of papers
*Bulletin boards
*Tape, Crayons, and Scissors
*Seeing the happiness on a child's face when they finally got 100% on a spelling test
* 17, six year olds

would be so HARD. I truly came to love my little first graders. I had to say goodbye today, and it was much harder then I thought it would be. I'll admit it I cried for a solid fifteen minutes during the drive back to Rexburg. They all wrote me letters. They were so cute. I could tell they had tried their very hardest to spell all the words correctly. These little first graders have taught me so much. I'll miss them lots and lots.
