Changes

Last Thursday I completed my fourth and last year of being a second grade teacher in the Provo School District.  Next year I will be moving over to the Alpine School District to be an ESL teacher.  The role of an ESL teacher is to work with English second language students from each grade level in small groups.  This will definitely be a change but I am thrilled and in dire need of something different.  I didn't think I would be working past this year, so I think doing something new will be helpful. 

Second grade has been such a blessing in my life and has taught me so much.  I will miss it greatly.  This year was challenging but I definitely had the best class in the world.  An elementary school teacher gets to see so much change and growth within a school year.  It's always so fun to see a classroom full of brand new second graders grow into kids who are ready for third grade.

Here's a picture from the last school day.  I will miss these kids so much.

Some more pictures from the school year.
