Well, the end has come and gone. At this point I'm feeling a combination of relief, exhaustion, and grief.
Relief for the fact that we actually made it. Hard to believe that another school year is completed.
Exhaustion because, as mentioned in a previous post, my co-teacher and I packed the last 2 weeks full of fun. I might add, what a great way to end the year. We had very few behaviour problems, and those we did have were minor, since the kids were having a blast and were afraid to miss out on the next bit 'o fun.
And finally grief, which is not something I have normally felt at the end of the year. I am so profoundly sad because the school that I love and have served at for the past 8 years will not be opening next year due to financial hardship. And for now, in the words of Forrest Gump, that's all I have to say about that.
