We're Done!

The end of another school year has finally arrived.... & it was a pretty good year. It was the first time in more than 20+ years that I had a small class. I've had anywhere from 26 to 37 kids each year that I've been in Kindergarten. This group of 22 was a blessing. They behaved (most of the time), had good attendance and 21 out of 22 learned to read. Of course I'll miss them but in 10 weeks I'll have a new batch of little people to keep me busy... can't wait!

He's Back!

Guess where I was today at 2 a.m.? I was at JFK airport picking up the "teenaged one" from his first study abroad experience. The youngster, a professor, her assistant and 15 students spent the past 10 days on the island of Roatan off the coast of Honduras, Central America.

The youngster said it was like Survivor meets Fantasy Island, except with dolphins and turtles. He even got scuba certified before going so he could explore the coral reef in this tropical paradise.... I'm glad he went, but also glad that he came back safely.
