Happy birthday, Ian! We love you so much!

Why I would NEVER teach junior high...

the end...

Ian's last day of school was also his last day of elementary school. While he didn't seem to mind, it was very hard for me! Next year he'll be in a school with 17 and 18 year olds!! I just can't believe that! These are some pictures from the last day of school - the awards ceremony where he got a trophy for honor roll and a medal for science club, and the 6th grade party. There was much yearbook signing and DDR playing by him and his friends! I also included a video of the teachers talking to the kids about what kind of behavior they expected at the party and a video of the kids being turned loose...just because I found them amusing and they made me soooo glad I don't teach 6th or 7th grade! So here's a shout out to my favorite Ian and the AWESOME job he's done at school over the past seven years!
PS The picture of the lion is a mural the 6th graders made. They each wrote their favorite part of elementary school on a piece of paper and put it together to make this lion.
