Today is the day!!!

Today is the day that I look at each of my students one by one...
....and know that I will miss them so very much as they grow too old for my classroom.


This year has been an absolute joy.  We baked cookies together...





























Practiced alphabet technology together...

Danced in the rain together...


Painted handprints together...


Hung out with some firemen together...


Built spider webs together...


Played dinosaurs together...


Sang with Mr. Maldonado together...


Worked hard together...


Had pajama parties together...


Sang in Christmas performances together...


Counted together...


Built sugar cube igloos together...


Performed science experiments together...


Made playdough together...


Searched for rainbows together...


Wore green together...


Examined bugs together...


Looked at bones together...


Ran a jog-a-thon together...

Counted sheep together...



...and learned some sign language together.



There are some that have been here for several years.
















Some that I've known since they were infants.






















Some that I've only just met.


And no one that I will ever forget.



















It's been a good year, my class of 2015!
