School Days

Throughout the school year I have taken quite a few pictures during the school days... most of them were for the yearbook but I thought I'd share them on my blog too. It has been a great year and I have learned a lot about being a teacher. My students are wonderful, even the challenging ones. I am constantly amazed at how loving kids are... they never seem to run out of love to give. Even the long, exhausting days have highlights of laughter and fun. Here are some pictures from school days over the last few months:
